3900S Tunable CW All Solid State Ti:sapphire Laser

When it was introduced in the 1980s, the first generation 3900S laser was widely recognized as a major breakthrough in near-infrared laser technology, combining smoothly tunable CW output with solidstate reliability and simplicity. Thanks to advances in broadband optics, solid state visible pump lasers, and improved control systems, the updated 3900S has retained its clear leadership position in the market and sets new performance standards in a wide range of applications, including IR Raman spectroscopy, “optical tweezers,” photodynamic therapy, and spectroscopy of semiconductor materials....

typical M2 value of less than 1.1, allowing the beam to be precisely collimated or focused to a near-diffraction limited spot. During normal operation, typical power fluctuations are less than ±1% and the output beam is horizontally polarized with an extinction ratio of 100:1 or better. For even greater stability, the laser cover can be sealed and the cavity purged with dry nitrogen. This purging also allows the laser to be tuned through the 980 nm spectral region with no slight power dips due to the well-known water absorption bands at this wavelength. An optional dry nitrogen purge box...

Millennia—The Ultimate Pump Laser for the 3900S In 1996, Millennia was the first all-solid-state laser to provide high power CW visible output and immediately became the first choice for pumping Ti:sapphire lasers. Orders of magnitude more rugged and reliable than previous ion lasers, the Millennia is the best turn-key source of pump light available today. The sealed cavity design needs no adjustment, and produces the ideal combination of excellent spatial mode (TEM00), beam pointing and ultra-low-noise output. With a choice of 5, 8 or 10 watts at 532 nm, this compact laser is ideal for the...
