Solstice® Ace™ High Energy, Industrial One Box Ultrafast Amplifier The Spectra-Physics® Solstice Ace was the industry’s first femtosecond ultrafast amplifier designed, built and tested using rigorous industrial practices. Solstice Ace incorporates adjustment-free mounting hardware, indivdual modular components, and industry proven pump and seed lasers. The result is the most advanced, hands-free ultrafast light source for a wide range of ultrafast applications. Solstice Ace is capable of reliable operation over a 10°C temperature range. Unlike traditional lasers that utilize standard optomechanics, Solstice Ace employs adjustmentfree EternAlign™ optical mounts to maximize long-term stability and performance. The regenerative amplifier and the stretcher/compressor are housed in 2 independently temperature stabilized enclosures to ensure optimal stability. The Solstice Ace is designed to operate in a wide range of environments to provide industrial level stability. Using Spectra-Physics’ patented Ace regenerative amplifier cavity, the Solstice Ace delivers >7 W at 1 kHz, >8 W at 5 kHz and >7 W at 10 kHz with pulse width configurations ranging from <35 fs to <120 fs. For every configuration of Solstice Ace, the beam quality is exceptional (M2 <1.25) making it perfect for OPA pumping and a wide range of nonlinear spectroscopy applications. The Solstice Ace Advantage • Unsurpassed operating stability and stable operation over a 10ºC temperature range • Patented Ace regenerative amplifier cavity design • Configurable pulse width, <35 fs – <120 fs • Configurable repetition rate, 1–10 kHz • Exceptional beam quality (M2 <1.25) Applications • OPA pumping • 2D IR spectroscopy • Ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy • Nonlinear optics • Four wave mixing spectroscopy • Ultrafast micromachi
