Catalog excerpts

Surelite EX is designed to be the ultimate pump source for OPOs and Ti:Sapphire systems. With an optimized laser cavity, Surelite EX provides a uniform distribution of energy across the beam profile while minimizing hot spots and modulation. This optimal beam quality allows for maximum energy conversion in OPOs and Ti:Sapphire systems making Surelite EX the ideal choice for these applications. To satisfy the most stringent requriements, Amplitude offers a seeded version of the Surelite EX producing smoother repeatable temporal pulse shape and much narrower linewidth for better conversion efficiency in OPOs.
