cw Terahertz: High Power Extension
- Maximum laser power at extrema of DFB tuning range
- Includes BoosTA 850 nm or 1550 nm Er:fiber amplifier
- Fiber input and output ports
- Requires Standard Package
- Bandwidth and resolution as in 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.
