Spitfire® Ace™ Power Amplifier HIGH POWER. GUARANTEED STABILITY The Spitfire Ace Power Amplifier Advantage 1 Revolutionary XPert™ technology 1 More than 12 W of output power • Superior mode quality (M2 <1.45) • Digital synchronization electronics 'Designed and supported by the most knowledgeable ultrafast engineering and service teams • Multicolor pump-probe spectroscopy • Coherent control • Nonlinear optics • Time resolved spectroscopy • Four wave mixing spectroscopy • Material processing • Optical parametric amplification A Newport Corporation Brand The Spectra-Physics Spitfire® Ace™ is the most technically advanced ThSapphire regenerative amplifier available. Equipped with the proprietary XPert™ technology, the Spitfire Ace has set the new standard for long term performance, low noise, and day-to-day reproducibility. The XPert stabilization package incorporates multiple elements to ensure optimal performance: Newport optomechanics and Spectra-Physics proprietary optical coatings come together to deliver expert level performance. To support today's demanding experiments, the system performance is guaranteed over extended periods of time, placing the Spitfire Ace in a The Spitfire Ace Power Amplifier builds upon this highly successful platform by offering even higher energy and output power. The Power Amplifier system produces more than twice the average power of the Regen-only Spitfire Ace: at 1 kHz and 10 kHz, the system offers >10 W; at 5 kHz, >12 W is achieved. Thanks to the patented XP cavity, the beam quality is excellent providing M2 <1.45 even at the highest energy configuration. The Spitfire Ace performs optimally when seeded using the revolutionary Mai Tai® SP oscillator. This laser is a truly hands-free system, eliminating the need for re-alignment, cleaning or adjustments of any kind. The Mai Tai SP performance specifications are guaranteed over an impressive 20°C temperature range The Spitfire Ace Power Amplifier system is pumped with two Empower® 45 lasers that together can deliver over 90 W of average power. Equipped with proprietary noise reducing technology, the Empower 45 is the quietest amplifier pump laser on the market. CV> Newport.
