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

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.
