TA pro - Tapered Amplifier Laser System
- MOPA configuration in pro technology
- Wavelengths between 633 nm and 1265 nm NEW!
- High power, up to 3 W
- Stability and Ease of Use of pro technology
- New: wavelengths around 685 nm and 11xx nm
The TA pro is the flagship product of TOPTICAs high power tunable diode laser solutions. Its tapered amplifier technology allows for high power with excellent beam quality, while at the same time maintaining the excellent spectral properties of the pro master laser. The TA pro is a completely revised version of a very well-established laser system, the TA 100. It has been optimized for extreme stability and ease of use, and has proved these properties in numerous tests in TOPTICAs and customers´ laboratories.

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
Optical Isolation
| Isolators are used to protect the laser diode from back reflections. This not only prevents damage to the diode but also ensures untroubled single-mode operation and tuning. Fiber coupling with angle polished fibers (both ends) requires at least a single stage isolator. |
Optical Isolation
| Double stage isolators are needed if reflections from the experiment into the laser are expected. Fiber coupling with non-angle polished fibers also requires a double stage isolator. |
FiberDock
| TOPTICA's patented fiber coupler provides highest single-mode fiber coupling efficiencies, easy alignment and at the same time highest stability. TOPTICA additionally offers a wide range of single-mode and polarization maintaining fibers, including fiber-optic beam splitters. Optical isolation is mandatory for fiber coupled diode laser systems. |
| Electronics Modules | A large range of control, stabilization and frequency locking modules are available. |
| DFB master | Optionally, a DFB master laser can be implemented for wide mode-hop free tuning. |
