Spitfire® Pro XP Ultrafast Amplifier

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Spitfire® Pro XP Ultrafast Amplifier is a high-performance laser system known for its superior beam quality and high power output. It features a patented regenerative cavity design that minimizes dispersion and losses, providing up to 4.0 W of output power with pulse widths as short as 35 fs. The system is available in configurations of 1 kHz, 5 kHz, and 10 kHz, offering superior mode quality (M2 <1.3) and all-digital timing for enhanced stability and control.
Key Specifications:
  • Output Power: >4.0 W
  • Pulse Width: <35 fs
  • Repetition Rates: 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz
  • Pulse Energy: >4.0 mJ at 1 kHz, >0.8 mJ at 5 kHz, >0.4 mJ at 10 kHz
  • Pre-Pulse Contrast Ratio: >1000:1
  • Post-Pulse Contrast Ratio: >100:1
  • Energy Stability: <0.75% rms over 8 hours
  • Tunability: 780–820 nm (Spitfire Pro 35F), 750–840 nm (Spitfire Pro F and PM)
  • Spatial Mode: TEM00 (M2 <1.3)
  • Beam Diameter: 7 mm (nominal)
  • Polarization: Linear Horizontal
Design and Performance: The Spitfire Pro XP features a unique XP regenerative cavity design with a single intra-cavity Pockels cell, reducing dispersion and losses. It includes high damage threshold optical coatings and Newport opto-mechanical components for optimal performance.

Spitfire® Pro XP Ultrafast Amplifier H I G H P O W E R A N D S U P E R I O R B E A M Q U A L I T Y • Patented regenerative cavity provides minimum intracavity dispersion and losses • Up to >4.0 W of output power • Pulse widths as short as 35 fs • Available in 1 kHz, 5 kHz and 10 kHz configurations • Superior mode quality (M2 <1.3) • All-digital timing provides superior long-term stability and full computer control • Supported by the most knowledgeable and experienced ultrafast engineering and service teams The Spitfire Pro XP Advantage The Spectra-Physics® Spitfire® Pro is the world’s most popular ultrafast amplifier system. Cutting-edge performance, high reliability, and industry-leading technical support combine to make the Spitfire Pro the ultrafast amplifier of choice in hundreds of leading research institutions. Spectra-Physics Ultrafast Laser Family Industry Leading Performance and Reliability All Spitfire Pro amplifiers feature the unique, patent protected XP regenerative cavity design. Using only a single intra-cavity Pockels cell, the XP cavity reduces dispersion and losses, yielding shorter pulses (<35 fs), higher pulse energy (>4.0 mJ), and the best beam quality available. State of the art, all-digital synchronization electronics provide extra flexibility and unprecedented long term hands-off stability. Cutting edge high speed drivers augment stability and reliability to maximize system uptime. The Spitfire Pro XP comes equipped with high damage threshold optical coatings and industry proven Newport opto-mechanical components. Both ensure the highest level of performance for our ultrafast amplifiers. The Spitfire Pro system is the ideal choice for amplifying the output of Spectra-Physics Tsunami® or Mai Tai® mode-locked Ti:Sapphire lasers. The Spectra-Physics diode-pumped solid state Empower® pump laser features excellent output stability that ensures optimal pump conditions and minimizes pulse-to-pulse fluctuations. Delivering both high power output and exceptional beam quality, the Spitfire Pro amplifier can also simultaneously pump multiple OPAs such as the OPA-800C and the TOPAS which enables multicolor pump-probe experiments over a wide wavelength range (189 nm to 20 ìm).
