TA pro
Amplified, narrow linewidth diode laser
For those who want high power for quantum applications without compromising on laser noise
TA pro
Amplified, narrow linewidth diode laser
The TA pro is the flagship product of TOPTICA's high power narrow linewidth diode laser solutions. Its tapered amplifier technology allows for high power with excellent beam quality, while at the same time maintaining the favorable spectral properties of the built in pro master laser. The TA pro is a very well-established laser system optimized for extreme stability and ease of use, and has proved these properties in numerous tests an challenges in TOPTICAs and customers' laboratories.
The DLC TA pro is equipped with TOPTICA's all digital DLC pro control electronics: with lowest noise and drift and more convenience, it also offers highest amplifier currents up to 10 A and additional protection for the amplifier chip. All of TOPTICAs lasers for QT come with a uniform PC graphical user interface and offer Python SDKs for easy to use and program remote control.
TA pro is also available as a TA pro AL with AutoAlign. TA pro AL allows integration of up to two complete MOPA systems. The AutoAlign feature can automatically optimize the coupling into the amplifier chip and fibers. For table-top TA pro AL systems, please inquire. The rack-mounted version of TA pro AL for integration in T-RACK is available as MTA pro.
With the TA pro F variant locking is faster than ever. The system features an intra-cavity EOM which provides two feedback channels. One is used for fast adjustments to ensure the superb locking performance, the other guarantees the high robustness of the lock.
Your Benefits
High power for quantum applications
A large selection of tapered amplifier chips enables high powers across a wide wavelength range from 632 nm to 1590 nm. Tapered amplifiers increase the power of our excellent narrow linewidth diode lasers to multi-Watt levels.
Low noise & drift
Low noise electronics and a stable mechanical design ensure low noise & drift.
Complete control over all laser components
We make sure that all components are made for each other, resulting in the best possible laser system for your application.
Flexibility by modular design
The laser head and electronics are very flexible by design and can be extended by many options and modifications.
Reliable & stable
A sophisticated thermal and mechanical design ensures maximum stability and reliability.
Options
Single stage 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.
Dual stage 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.
Fiber delivery
Fiber Delivery (FD) is optionally available with TOPTICA's patented fiber coupler FiberDock and a suitable polarization maintaining (PM) fiber. FiberDock provides highest single-mode fiber coupling efficiencies, easy alignment and at the same time highest stability.
For most lasers, we specify a PER behind fiber of >20 dB with our Fiber Delivery option. Please also inquire about Long Life and High Power fibers as well as fiber splitters. Optical isolation is mandatory for fiber coupled diode laser systems.
Locking and other electronics modules
For DLC pro, the versatile DLC pro LOCK option is available as well as FALC pro and PDH/DLC pro modules. With DLC ext a number of analog locking modules is available.
DFB master
Optionally, a DFB master laser can be implemented for wide mode-hop-free tuning.
