NKT Photonics has announced the World-wide release of the new generation of their Koheras BOOSTIK lasers - a maintenance-free single-frequency fiber laser system with a unique combination of narrow linewidth, pristine beam quality, and high output power.
The new generation BOOSTIK lasers provides several new features and improvements such as a significantly higher free-running wavelength stability and larger tuning range. Moreover, the new BOOSTIK comes with internal fast wavelength modulation capabilities, and a build-in wave-function generator, which are both controlled through a user-friendly GUI. This eliminates the need for a costly external piezo driver and ensures lowest possible noise.
The system is available at any wavelength in the ranges 1050 to 1090 nm and 1540 to 1570 nm with up to 15 W of output power and is controlled through a user-friendly interface.
New features and improvements
- 10X better wavelength stability against environmental temperature changes (1 pm/K)
- 2.5X larger fast wavelength tuning range
- Built-in internal fast wavelength modulation with no need for external piezo driver
- Internal function generator
- Slim 1U seed laser
In addition, the new generation BOOSTIK lasers comes with all the great features that have made the Koheras brand so popular in labs around the World:
- Available at any wavelength in the 1050-1090 nm and 1540-1570 nm range
- High output power up to 15 W
- Shot-noise limited performance with Hz range linewidth and low phase noise
- Burst noise and mode hop free
- Available with kHz frequency modulation
- Excellent beam quality ideal for frequency conversion
Typical applications
These lasers are widely used in the scientific community for high precision metrology where ultra-stable and low noise laser operation is critical. Among the most important applications are:
- Optical length and frequency standards
- Quantum optics / computing & phenomena such as optical trapping, optical lattice, Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), atom interferometers, and squeezing
- Nonlinear optics pump source (SHG, DFG, OPO)
- Laser-based metrology (precision laser interferometry and spectroscopy)
- Optical heterodyning and coherent communication
- Coherent beam combining
The new generation BOOSTIK lasers are available now.
