< Previous68 Superior Reliability & Performance Monaco Ultrafast Laser Systems Monaco is a diode-pumped, fiber-based, Chirped Pulse Amplifier (CPA) MOPA architecture designed for heavy-use, 24/7 applications. The fiber based design offers energy and repetition rate diversity required to cover a wide range of applications requiring high repetition rate, energetic femto- second pulses. Monaco effortlessly provides 60W of average power at up to 50 MHz. With a pulse duration shorter than 400 fs and an energy per pulse as high as 60 µJ at 1 MHz and 80 µJ at 750 kHz, Monaco-1035-40-1 is ideal for power-hungry scientific applications ranging from material modification and ablation studies to solid-state time-resolved spectroscopy. The 10 µJ, 4 MHz version is ideal for advanced microscopy, where both high speed and energy per pulse are quintessential. Monaco’s exceptional beam quality (M2 <1.2) result in supe- rior performance in any application where beam profile is critical, like pumping collinear OPAs and NOPAs or for fine material modification studies. An integrated AOM allow to change the repetition rate on the fly from MHZ to tens of Hz, and also to seamlessly change the energy per pulse. The Monaco foundation is hewn from a single block of stress relieved aluminum. This monolithic structure ensures an op- tical alignment that is maintained throughout the life of the laser. The head encases all of the optical elements as well as the Soloboard™ control deck. There are no control umbilicals or remotely located pump diodes, all of which could create potential failure points in a system. Furthermore, Monaco maintains its own clean room environment, thanks to the onboard PureFemto™ cleaning engine.

As the first unit of its kind, the OPerA Solo integrates all pump conditioning optics, wavelength extension options and wavelength separation optics within one enclosure. This makes the OPerA Solo a very compact, easy-to-use and stable device. When pumped by the Astrella, Legend Elite or Libra amplifier, the OPerA Solo system provides a unique, compact and reliable approach for high-performance tun- able ultra-fast applications. The OPerA Solo design incorporates well-proven TOPAS technology in the white-light seeded, pre-amplifier followed by a power amplifier. In the sum-frequency-mixing configuration the OPerA Solo uses a fraction of the 800 nm pump beam directly from the Legend Elite output beam for mixing with the OPA signals. This “fresh pump beam” feature enables superior spatial, spectral and temporal beam quality compared to designs that use the “residual” portion of the 800 nm pump beams.
