Long-term wavelength stability and low output noise is assured with the Matisse laser's INVAR baseplate and acousticallyengineered housing. Each laser is tuned using a precise long-travel piezo to allow single-frequency scanning over 50 GHz while maintaining stable power output without mode hopping. Controlled with high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) technology, Matisse lasers feature user-friendly, open-source software. Together these features provide unprecedented spectral resolution and stability. With its modular design, the Matisse lasers can be configured for either Ti:Sapphire or a dye solution as the laser gain medium, and for linewidths ranging from 20 MHz down to 30 kHz. The dye ring laser versions of the Matisse laser are equipped with an innovative high-pressure circulator and sapphire dye jet. The circulators prevent the formation of circulating bubbles and inhibit the transmission of shock waves and vibrations into the liquid jet. This results in a “silent” gain medium that produces the narrowest possible output linewidth with minimum amplitude noise. Applications • High-resolution spectroscopy • Atom cooling and magneto-optic trapping (MOT) • Atomic clocks • Bose-Einstein condensates The Matisse Ring Laser Advantage • Fast EOM cavity length stabilization with Pound-Drever- Hall wavelength reference signal assures the narrowest possible spectral linewidth • Most efficient ring laser available, >3 W output power • Wavelength tuning of resonator over 50 GHz with constant output power • Dust-sealed housing to avoid optics contamination • Massive INVAR baseplate and damping for long-term wavelength stability and low output noise • Fast Digital Signal Processing (DSP) with open-source software for convenient and stable laser operation; free software downloads available • Sapphire dye jet nozzle for quiet ultra-narrow linewidth output • Optional integrated wavelength meter with software included • All models field-upgradeable Ti:Sapphire Tuning Curves

Matisse® Open cavity Matisse TX showing intra-cavity EOM for fast cavity length stabilization. Matisse with separate high-finesse reference cavity with Pound- Drever-Hall feedback scheme. M AT I S S E T R A N D D R The Matisse ”R-Series” ring laser with its mechanically “quiet” design provides excellent passive stability and noise free, single-frequency operation. Electronically controlled wavelength-selecting elements—a birefringent filter, a thick etalon, and a thin etalon—keep the laser centered on a single longitudinal mode. This enables long, mode-hopfree wavelength scans while...
