One Box Ultrafast Amplifier-Solstice®

Product catalog summary

The Solstice Advantage

One-box ultrafast amplifier with patented Spitfire Pro XP regenerative amplifier cavity design.
Delivers more than 3.5 W of output power with a pulse width of 100 fs.
Available in 1, 5, and 10 kHz versions with exceptional beam quality (M2 <1.3).
Operates in a ±5°C environment with all digital timing electronics for long-term stability.
Computer-controlled for ease of use.

Unprecedented Stability and Optical Performance

The Solstice amplifier is compatible with all versions of the fully-automated Spectra-Physics Mai Tai femtosecond oscillator, providing reliability for industrial processes. It includes the Empower diode-pumped solid-state pulsed green laser as the pump source, known for its reliability and low cost of ownership.

The Solstice laser system is designed for hands-free, cutting-edge performance in scientific research and industrial environments.

Solstice® O N E B O X U L T R A F A S T A M P L I F I E R The Solstice Advantage • One box ultrafast amplifier • Patented Spitfire Pro XP regenerative amplifier cavity design • More than 3.5 W of output power • Pulse width 100 fs • Available in 1, 5 and 10 kHz versions • Exceptional beam quality (M2 <1.3) • Capable of operating in a ±5°C environment • All digital timing electronics for temperature insensitive long term stability • Computer controlled Unprecedented Stability and Optical Performance The Solstice amplifier is compatible with all versions of the fully-automated Spectra-Physics Mai Tai femtosecond oscillator. The Mai Tai oscillator’s rugged design provides the reliability required to enable industrial processes. Access to the Mai Tai laser output is possible using the side access port. Using a tunable Mai Tai provides Solstice users with the additional flexibility to perform ‘low-energy’ experiments. The Solstice laser comes equipped with the Empower diode-pumped solid state pulsed green laser as the pump source. Its superior reliability, outstanding stability and low cost of ownership makes the Solstice an ideal solution for today’s demanding applications. The Spectra-Physics® Solstice® one-box ultrafast laser sets the industry standard for femtosecond (fs) amplifier stability and reliability. This rugged laser system is designed to deliver hands-free, cutting-edge performance for a wide range of applications in both scientific research and industrial environments.
