GENKI - Low-noise picosecond laser modules

The GENKI low-noise picosecond laser family is designed for maintenance free 24/7 operation over the entire temperature range and product lifetime.

The GENKI guarantees sustained performance between 10 °C - 40 °C ambient temperature without intermittent pulse drop-outs, interruption of mode-locking or start-up difficulties at different ambient temperatures.

The GENKI generates pedestal-free, close to transform limited pulses with unmatched temporal and spectral purity and stability, free of ASE background noise.

Features:


- Push-button operation, maximum useability: No PC required, no hidden reset or adjustment knobs or screws, guaranteed maintenance free 24/7 operation.


- It runs with a 5V/24V laptop-like power supply, laser and driver are passively air cooled, no chiller, no forced air cooling or long warm up times.


- Very high quality spectral and temporal pulse shape: No pedestal or satellite pulses, clean optical spectrum with highly constant and repeatable center wavelength, bandwidth and spectral shape.


- Record-low amplitude (RIN) and phase noise (timing jitter),
no ASE background noise (no optical amplifier built-in).


• RMS amplitude noise < 0.5 % over 1 h
• RMS timing jitter < 100 fs [100 Hz - 1 MHz] (free running)
• RMS timing jitter < 35 fs [10 Hz - 1 MHz] (requires synchronization option)
• Pulse repetition rate frequency drift < 50 Hz over 1h (free running)


Please inquire for other wavelengths, pulse repetition rates or pulse durations.
