FemtoFErb 1560: Femtosecond Fiber Laser

Erbium Fiber laser based on saturable absorber mirror technology
Robust and reliable all-fiber setup with telcordia proved components
1560 nm center wavelength
100 MHz repetition rate
less than 100 fs (typ. 70 fs) pulse duration
more than 100 mW (typ. 140 mW)
Only polarization maintaining fiber components
No air or water cooling required
Robust and cost-effective design
Compact footprint and turnkey operation

The FemtoFErb laser systems are very robust all fiber-based femtosecond laser systems with excellent amplitude and frequency jitter parameters. Applications benefiting from the most stable, compact and cost-effective FemtoFErb laser solutions are e.g. Terahertz or metrology systems, light sources for microscopy, ophthalmology or medical surgery/examination.
