Mendocino - Femtosecond Fiber Laser (FPL)

Source: Calmar Laser, Inc.
Calmar Laser's passively mode locked Mendocino - Femtosecond Fiber Laser (FPL) can reliably generate ultra-short 100 femtosecond pulses at 10s of MHz repetition rate. The Mendocino is available in OEM module or rack mount versions.
The Mendocino – Femtosecond Fiber Laser is often used as a high quality femtosecond seed laser for higher energy systems. The Mendocino is passively mode-locked fiber laser utilizing a saturable absorber to deliver excellent stability and reliability, with hands free operation.

Along with a portable design, the FPL femtosecond fiber laser bench top offers user-friendly front panel control knobs for flexible adjustment of wavelength, pulse width, and output power. Both tunable and fixed wavelength versions are available.

The fiber based femtosecond pulsed laser module (FPL-M) is the most compact of commercially available passively mode-locked fiber lasers. The FPL-M series features a robust architecture that is insensitive to shock and vibration and provides exceptional stability and reliability for demanding OEM applications. An advanced engineering design and consistent manufacturing process ensure the highest quality standards for OEM volume production. The FPL-M series can be used either as a stand-alone laser source with a 5 V DC power supply or separate driver, or for integration as an OEM module.

The pulse width is factory selectable from 0.1 to 15 ps, with near transform-limited pulse shape and a better than -20 dB pedestal. The timing jitter is as low as 60 fs (integrated from 100 Hz to 1 MHz offset). The repetition rate can be specified from 10 to 100 MHz with either a polarization-maintaining (PM) or non-PM fiber output. With up to 20 mW output power, the FPL series is the most economical solution for applications requiring low power, such as seeding amplifier systems. An RF synchronization output is provided as a trigger signal.

Applications:

  • Multi-photon Imaging (MPI)
  • Terahertz radiation
  • Micro machining
  • OEM Integration
  • Optical switching
  • Seed for high power lasers
