The Spectra-Physics® Solstice® one-box ultrafast laser sets the industry standard for femtosecond (fs) amplifier stability and reliability. This rugged laser system is designed to deliver hands-free, cutting-edge performance for a wide range of applications in both scientific research and industrial environments. |
Unprecedented Stability and Optical Performance |
To ensure hands-off, reliable operation, the Solstice amplifier uses industry-leading, field proven technologies to further enhance system performance. By extending industrial quality elements throughout the entire unit, Spectra-Physics has created a platform of unprecedented stability and optical performance.
Using the patented Spitfire® Pro XP regenerative amplifier cavity, the Solstice has an output average power of more than 3.5 W at 1, 5, or 10 kHz and high contrast pulses of less than 100 fs. It also delivers a high quality beam (M2 <1.3) that is essential for the most demanding applications. |
Field-proven Mai Tai® and Empower® Pump Lasers |
The Solstice amplifier is compatible with all versions of the fully-automated Spectra-Physics Mai Tai femtosecond oscillator. The Mai Tai oscillator’s rugged design provides the reliability required to enable industrial processes. Access to the Mai Tai laser output is possible using the side access port. Using a tunable Mai Tai provides Solstice users with the additional flexibility to perform ‘low-energy’ experiments.
The Solstice laser comes equipped with the Empower diode-pumped solid state pulsed green laser as the pump source. Its superior reliability, outstanding stability and low cost of ownership makes the Solstice an ideal solution for today’s demanding applications.
