Automated Frequency Doubler for Ti:Sapphire Lasers |
|
The Spectra-Physics® Inspire™ Blue is an innovative, easy to use and reliable doubling unit that efficiently converts the IR emission of Ti:Sapphire lasers (690–1040 nm) into the near-UV and visible wavelength range (345–520 nm).
Based on novel nonlinear technology, the Inspire Blue doubler provides exceptional beam quality, high conversion efficiency (up to 50%) and reduced pulse broadening. The unit is available in both manual and automated versions and is compatible with the Spectra-Physics Mai Tai® HP femtosecond output as well as the Spectra-Physics Tsunami® HP femtosecond and picosecond outputs.
The Inspire Blue doubler also features synchronized outputs–the converted output in the near-UV and visible wavelength range (345–520 nm) and the unconverted fundamental output in the IR range (690–1040 nm)–enabling use of both beams in simultaneous experiments. Complete wavelength coverage is achieved with a single optics set to increase flexibility.
The Inspire Blue doubling unit is an excellent tool for a wide range of applications requiring femtosecond light pulses at MHz repetition rates. |
