TEC-400 - Tapered Amplifier Series: SERVAL
US Patent 6,297,066 | US Patent 6,869,483


Description:
The TEC 400 Tapered Ampfier is designed for the amplification of diode lasers up to 500mW. This system is designed as a cost effective solution for customers who already use their own external cavity diode laser system. It is an easy to handle add-on unit for upgrading the output power by up to a factor of ten. Please check our downloadable data sheets.

Layout:
We have designed our TEC 400 Tapered Amplifier staight forward. It consists of both side antireflection coated tapered amplifier diode, a two stage collimating optics for the high power optical output, a one stage collimation optics for the in-coupling side of the tapered amplifier and a two axis flex adjustable mirror which provides 90 degree angle change of the in-coming optical beam. From the user side, there is the requirement for a second 90 degree adjustment mirror and the master laser source. 

Benefit of AR-Coated diode lasers, System Performance:
Our anti-reflection coated tapered amplifier diode lasers give the laser system the best possible performance.

High Output Power:
Our Tapered Amplifier system is especially designed for achieving the highest possible output power. We achieve power values of more than 500mW at 760nm, 780nm, 785nm, 850nm, 980nm, 1060nm. Output power values up to 1000mW are available for selected wavelength.

Littman Laser System with Tapered Amplifier:
We offer a compete Littman Laser System with Tapered Amplifer for highest quality and stability requirements.  

Wavelength Stability:
Our Tapered Amplifier system includes an excellent thermal management of the heat dissipation of the 1W laser chips. This results in a superior wavelength stability of the free running laser system. 

Application Example - Absorption Spectroscopy:
Absorption Spectroscopy requires a low linewidth and mode-hop free tuning behavior. Both features are fulfilled by our TEC 400 Tapered Amplifier system in an excellent way.

General Specification, majorly determined by the Master Laser:

Linewidth < 2MHz, typ. 1MHz (1ms), <20MHz, typ. 10MHz (20s)
Side mode suppression typical 45 dB
Long term drift (24h) typical 300MHz
Output Power > 500mW, depending on the actual wavelength
Coarse Tuning range 10nm ... 30nm, depending on the actual wavelength
Fine Tuning (mode-hop free / total) 5GHz ... 15GHz / 80GHz … 100GHz
Frequency modulation > 1kHz @ 10GHz frequency change
