OPTIONAL UNITS
M-NIR Extension Package to the Near Infrared Spectral Range
provides an measurement port for the 1050-2100 nm spectral range, which can be optimized
independently from the CEO frequency stabilization.
M-VIS Extension Package to the Visible Spectral Range
extends the stabilized comb spectrum to the 530-900 nm range.
P250 PULSE-EDFA Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier
delivers intense near infrared pulses. A combination of optional amplifiers can be added for
multiple output ports with high-power output at 1560 nm.
780 Measurement Port
frequency doubles the output of an additional amplifier to 780 nm.
The FC1500 Optical Frequency Synthesizer is a compact, portable and flexible
fiber-based
femtosecond
frequency
comb system. The system provides a
stabilized optical frequency comb for
frequency metrology in both the visible
and the near infrared regions of the
spectrum. A wide range of optional
units enables us to tailor this versatile
system to customer specific metrology
solutions.
HMP High-power Measurement Port
provides stabilized comb light with highest power at customer-defined wavelengths (e.g.
633 nm) for high precision measurement of lasers with low power level. A minimum of 5 mW
average power in a 3 nm window is provided at a central wavelength defined by customer.
BDU Beat Detection Unit
generates and measures the beat signal between the frequency comb and an external continuous wave (CW) laser. Available for various spectral ranges, with free space or fiber-coupled
optics, matched to the laser frequencies of the customer.
LLE-SYNCRO Locking Electronics Unit
allows the stabilization of an external CW laser to the stabilized frequency comb. Field tested
performance with lasers from major suppliers. Contact us for details on your laser model.
GPS-10 10 MHz Frequency Reference
provides the RF reference input signal for the frequency comb, combining the superior short
term stability of the quartz oscillator with the long term accuracy of the GPS.
