NKT Photonics has introduced its second-generation ORIGAMI HP compact mode-locked femtosecond laser. It provides transform-limited output pulses at more than 4 W with pulse durations less than 120 fs and a repetition rate of 80 MHz at 1050 nm. Based on NKT’s monolithic industrial laser platform, the laser provides diffraction-limited beam quality with excellent pointing and continues to provide the lowest phase-noise and timing jitter on the market.
Multi-photon excitation is a growing field in bio-imaging and optogenetic activation, and the ORIGAMI HP is ideal to serve these applications. The laser’s clean transform-limited pulses ensure efficient excitation/activation with good penetration in tissue. Together with the excellent power and pointing stability, it is an ideal addition to Ti-Sa lasers for multiphoton processes, or standalone for two-photon polymerisation. By incorporating options for repetition rate control and tunability, the laser can also be synchronized to external clocks for ultra-stable timing applications, exploiting the laser’s low-noise performance.
The ORIGAMI HP is a maintenance-free laser module packaged in a sealed and robust enclosure allowing for operation in the harshest environments. No alignment is required, and it guarantees high stability, low drift and 24/7 operation making it ideal for OEM integration.
Feature Highlights:
- Up to 4 W output power at 1050 nm
- <120 fs clean, transform-limited soliton pulses
- 80 MHz repetition rate
- Low-noise performance
- Optional SHG module
- Package options available optimized for multi-photon excitation and clock synchronization
Application fields of the ORIGAMI HP include: Multi-photon imaging, Optogenetics, 2-photon polymerisation, Clock synchronization for e.g. X-Ray accelerators/FEL, Pump-probe spectroscopy, Micro/nano-structuring
