Newport Unveils Fully-Automated Short-Pulse Ultrafast Laser
Newport Corporation's Spectra-Physics Lasers Division introduces the Mai Tai SP, the first fully-automated, hands-free <25fs one-box ultrafast oscillator with adjustable pulse width. The Mai Tai SP is built on the proven Mai Tai laser platform with the largest installed base of one-box ultrafast lasers in the industry. The Mai Tai SP is highly stable and easy-to-use and is ideal for seeding the Spitfire Pro ultrafast amplifier system, which can be used for pump-probe spectroscopy, THz generation, high harmonic generation and other time-resolved spectroscopy applications.
The Mai Tai SP bandwidth and wavelength are both computer adjustable – the bandwidth tunes from >60nm to <12nm, corresponding to near transform-limited pulse widths from <25fs to 100fs. The new Mai Tai SP features both Stabilok technology and proprietary EternAlign permanent optics mounting technology to ensure exceptional long-term environmental stability. These features make the Mai Tai SP a truly hands-off laser – it does not need to be opened to the outside environment for pulse width adjustments, wavelength tuning or realignment.
"Our new Mai Tai SP laser uniquely delivers fully hands-off, short-pulse operation for dependable seeding of ultrafast amplifiers," says Herman Chui, Senior Director of Product Marketing for Newport's Spectra-Physics Lasers Division. "This new laser further extends Spectra-Physics' leadership in ultrafast laser systems, complementing our recent introductions of the Unison amplifier system, the 7W Spitfire Pro XP ultrafast amplifier, the Inspire OPO and the Inspire Blue ultrafast frequency converter."
