Datasheet: High Power Solid State Picosecond Oscillator: picoTRAIN™

Depending on the customers needs, the picoTRAIN™ can be individually configured by choosing performance modules where all configuration possibilities begin using a basic oscillator, the picoTRAIN™ IC-10000. The picoTRAIN™ IC-10000 delivers pulse trains of 7.5 ps length and 10 W output power at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Starting with the basic oscillator the laser sources can be extended or field-upgraded with four different external modules, which can be attached to the basic oscillator to complete the picoTRAIN™ platform:

• The power of the picoTRAIN™ can be increased up to 50 W @ 1064 nm by applying the power amplifier module. The external power amplifier module is simply attached to the laser exit of the basic oscillator.
• Combined with the pulse picker module the 50 W ps-laser now delivers pulses with an energy of up to 10 µJ, controllable by an external TTL signal enabling single pulses or pulse bursts up to a maximum repetition rate of 80 MHz.
• The Green module is offering visible ps laser radiation with 20 W @ 532 nm.
• The harmonics module offers an additional wavelength in the UV at 355 nm with an output power of up to 10 W. The power distribution of all wavelengths is controlled continuously by an internal remote controlled motorized variable beam splitter.
