cw Terahertz Generation – High Power Extension

High Power Extension for TOPTICA’s cw terahertz package: BoosTA amplifier with FiberDock fiber input and output coupling.

Requires Standard Package
Includes BoosTA 850 nm (750 mW) or 1550 nm Er:fiber amplifier (1 W)
FiberDock on input and output side
Fiber output with SM/PM fiber splitter (50:50 %)
Laser power: > 150 mW per two-color output
Maximum laser power even at extrema of DFB tuning range
For frequency tuning and resolution, see Standard Package

The High Power Extension employs TOPTICA’s established semiconductor amplifier technology (BoosTA™). The two-color output of the Standard Package is amplified and coupled into a 50:50 % fiber-optic splitter, providing the required laser beams for terahertz generation and detection. A 1550 nm version is also available, employing an Erbium-doped fiber as gain medium.
