Mai Tai® SP Short Pulse Ultrafast Oscillator The Spectra-Physics® Mai Tai SP Ti:Sapphire oscillator provides industry leading stability and cutting edge capability to the scientific research community. It is specifically designed as an amplifier seed for Spectra-Physics ultrafast amplifiers. The Mai Tai SP laser incorporates fully automated controls for bandwidth and center wavelength adjustment without the need for manual user intervention. This unprecedented level of performance provides a stable, easily adjustable seed source for Spitfire® Ace™ amplifier systems. Because of its flexibility, the same Mai Tai SP laser can be used to seed amplifiers in a variety of pulse width configurations (35 fs, 100 fs) to deliver true, transform-limited pulses. The Mai Tai SP is equipped with StabiLok® active beam alignment technology and EternAlign™ permanent optics mounts, to ensure outstanding stability and reliability. When operating under widely varying environmental conditions the Mai Tai SP maintains the average power, center wavelength, bandwidth, and beam pointing with best-in-class accuracy and precision. In addition, the laser is sealed so there is never a need to clean or realign the internal optics. The Mai Tai SP provides truly hands-free performance.
