The Spectra-Physics® Spitfire® Pro is the worlds most popular ultrafast amplifier system. Cutting-edge performance, high reliability, and industry-leading technical support combine to make the Spitfire Pro the ultrafast amplifier of choice in hundreds of leading research institutions. |
Industry Leading Performance and Reliability |
All Spitfire Pro amplifiers feature the unique, patent protected XP regenerative cavity design. Using only a single intra-cavity Pockels cell, the XP cavity reduces dispersion and losses, yielding shorter pulses (<40 fs), higher pulse energy (>7.0 mJ), and the best beam quality available.
State of the art, all-digital synchronization electronics provide extra flexibility and unprecedented long term hands-off stability. Cutting edge high speed drivers augment stability and reliability to maximize system uptime.
The Spitfire Pro XP comes equipped with high damage threshold optical coatings and industry proven Newport opto-mechanical components. Both ensure the highest level of performance for our ultrafast amplifiers.

Spectra-Physics Ultrafast Laser Family |
The Spectra-Physics diode-pumped solid state Empower® pump laser features excellent output stability that ensures optimal pump conditions and minimizes pulse-to-pulse fluctuations. The Spitfire Pro XP system is the ideal choice for amplifying the output of Spectra-Physics Tsunami® or Mai Tai® mode-locked Ti:Sapphire lasers. Delivering both high power output and exceptional beam quality, the Spitfire Pro XP amplifier can also simultaneously pump multiple OPAs such as the OPA-800C and the TOPAS which enables multicolor pump-probe experiments over a wide wavelength range (189 nm to 20 µm). |
