TOPTICA Proprietary Technology

A leap ahead

TOPTICA offers multiple product series and philosophies to chose from for your application. For OEM integration the compact and single purpose smart series has been developed. For scientific purposes, the open-concept pro series usually is the first choice. The ultra series combines both: Ultimate parameters and OEM/hands-off operation.

We work closely with our customers to provide the best application solution. Often "just a laser" is not good enough and specific adaptations are required. Since the foundation of TOPTICA a tool box has been developed which e.g. reduces laser speckle (SKILL), eliminates feedback induced noise (FINE), guarantees single mode operation (CHARM or SAFE) or optimized fiber coupling (COOL) under changing environmental conditions. Also a special technology for fCEO-free frequency combs (CERO) or extreme wide mode-hop tuning (SMILE or FLOW) are part of this tool box. These technical features are usually abbreviated by a short capital letter synonym and are integrated in TOPTICA products.

Product Series

smart series

Developed for OEM integration the compact and single purpose smart product line makes operation worry-free and system integration a breeze. 

pro series

For scientific purposes, the open-concept pro series products are the first choice in the world of accademia.

ultra series

These products combine both, ultimate performance and ready to integrate product design. Ideal for leading edge OEMs. 

Features That Make a Difference

CERO

Our awarded CERO technology enables an inherently fCEO-stable frequency comb design that combines robustness with reliability and highest stability.

SKILL

The SKILL function acts as a purely electronic "speckle killer". Annoying speckle noise on detectors and imaging systems is lowered to a minimum.

FINE

The "Feedback Induced Noise Eraser" reduces power instabilities of diode lasers at the push of a button. 

COOL

A hands-off solution for fiber-coupled lasers that saves users time and reduces stress. Delivers a "Constant Optical Output Level", or COOL, as we call it. 

CHARM

TOPTICA’s unique CHARM technology (Coherence-advanced regulation method) provides an active stabilization of the laser’s coherence.

SAFE

Remaining on a single mode plateau through an active stabilization, even under changing environmental conditions. That is SAFE, our "Single Mode Assuring Frequency Engine". 

SUV

TOPTICA’s solution to the well-known problem of output power degradation of deep-UV (DUV) laser sources.

Clean Pulse

The combination of a high temporal pulse quality (a “clean pulse”) and a short pulse duration at the sample plane gives the best contrast and brightness of 2-photon fluorescence microscopy images.

Auto Align

Automatic alignment at the push of one button. Allows for true hands-off operation of complex laser systems over years.
