Octavius-1G
Idesta’s OCTAVIUS-1G Ti:Sapphire laser offers the broadest spectrum commercially available today. Its spectrum allows for carrier-offset frequency stabilization without external spectral broadening. The high repetition rate is useful for high-cycling pump-probe experiments like Asynchronous Optical Sampling (ASOPS) and frequency comb applications. High-speed laser scanning microscopy set-ups also benefit from the high repetition rate as artifacts (Moiré effects) caused by a beat node between the scan frequency and the pulse repetition frequency are avoided. Additionally, the ratio between signal strength and photo damage increases according to recent studies at Janelia Farms.
Pump Laser
The OCTAVIUS-1G Ti:Sapphire Oscillator can be purchased separately or with a single mode, CW, diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) pump laser that outputs either 6 W or 8 W at 532 nm. In the latter case, both the DPSS laser and the Ti:Sapphire oscillator are integrated on a rigid, watercooled platform.
