Spitfire® Ace™ Ultrafast Amplifier INDUSTRY LEADING POWER. GUARANTEED STABILITY. > Revolutionary XPert™ technology > More than 5.0 W of output power > Superior mode quality (M2 <1.3) > Digital synchronization electronics 'Designed and supported by the most knowledgeable ultrafast engineering and service teams I • Multicolor pump-probe spectroscopy I • Time resolved spectroscopy I • Four wave mixing spectroscopy I • Optical parametric amplification A Newport Corporation Brand The Spectra-Physics Spitfire® Ace™ is our flagship amplifier system. It is the most technically advanced ThSapphire regenerative amplifier commercially available. Equipped with our proprietary XPert™ technology, the Spitfire Ace sets a new standard for long term performance, low noise, and day-to-day reproducibility that is guaranteed, resulting in stable OPA performance and harmonic conversion for use in the most demanding applications. The Spitfire Ace amplifier builds upon our highly successful Spitfire platform. Every component has been carefully evaluated and selected to maximize stability. The revolutionary XP regenerative cavity has been upgraded to produce an industry leading average power of more than 5 W at 1, 5 and 10 kHz with excellent (M2 <1.3) beam quality. The proprietary XPert technology incorporates multiple elements to ensure maximum stability: Newport optomechanics and isolators, and Spectra-Physics proprietary optical coatings. The result is guaranteed stability with no pulse breathing, minimized short- and long-term noise, and guaranteed average power over hundreds of hours - stability that sets the Spitfire Ace amplifier system in a class all by itself. The Spitfire Ace performs optimally when seeded with the revolutionary Mai Tai® SP oscillator. The Mai Tai SP laser is a truly hands-free system that does not require alignment, cleaning or adjustments, and its specifications are guaranteed over an impressive 20°C temperature range. The Spitfire Ace is pumped with the new Empower® 45 laser, which delivers over 45 W of average power in a compact package. Equipped with proprietary noise reduction technology, the Empower 45 is the quietest amplifier pump laser on the market. With the combination of XPert technology, Mai Tai SP seeder and Empower 45 pump, the Spitfire Ace is the highest energy, most stable regenerative amplifier available. It is ideal for pumping multiple OPA systems and performing a wide range of nonlinear spectroscopies. Achieve new levels of performance with the Spitfire Ace. C^> Newport.

The specifications only apply when Spitfire Ace is operated with recommended Spectra-Physics seed and pump lasers. A Gaussian pulse shape (0.7 deconvolution factor) is used to determine pulse width (FWHM) from autocorrelation signal as measured with Newport PulseScouf* autocorrelator.
