Key Markets :
Quantum Optics & Spectroscopy
TOPTICA’s tunable diode lasers have reliability, precision, narrow linewidth, as well as tunable laser frequency, or active frequency stabilization. These systems are commonly utilized in demanding applications such as laser cooling, trapping, and manipulation of atoms or ions in quantum optics, spectroscopy, and interferometry. TOPTICA is renowned for the widest wavelength coverage of tunable diode lasers on the market, providing high-power lasers even at exotic wavelengths.
Biophotonics & Microscopy
TOPTICA's laser offerings are well-suited to meet the demand for modern photonic sources in a variety of fields, including microscopy, flow cytometry, and medical and pharmaceutical instruments. Their portfolio includes a range of UV, VIS, and NIR laser sources, as well as flexible multi-laser engines and pulsed fiber lasers that are ideal for time-resolved applications.
Test & Measurement
Lasers from TOPTICA are of the lowest noise at the highest wavelength stability with great expertise in optical and electronic control of lasers. They are the perfect instruments for high-precision measurements of semiconductors, optical components, distances or chemical compositions. Frequencies in the terahertz region (0.1 THz to 6 THz) become accessible with the companies integrated solutions, opening up a wealth of novel applications in applied science, non-destructive testing and industrial process control.
Key Technologies :
Single Mode Diode Lasers
Single-mode diode lasers of TOPTICA set new standards in terms of power, low noise and convenient OEM integration. They come with diffraction-limited TEM00 output and reliable spectral properties, as well as optional robust fiber coupling. Compact design and low power consumption make them superior to old-fashioned, bulky and inefficient gas lasers. Multi laser engines seamlessly integrate several wavelengths into true one-box laser systems – switching between colors has never been easier. The systems‘ flexibility and ease of use enable straightforward deep integration into any customer’s system design.
Tunable Diode Lasers
TOPTICA’s tunable diode lasers have narrow linewidth, highest accuracy and great ease of use. They are available with wavelengths ranging from the deep UV to the mid IR (< 190 nm - 4000 nm), which is the widest spectral coverage on the market. Their patented pro design (DE 10 2007 028 499, US 7970024) guarantees highest stability and the best specifications resulting in cutting-edge research grade lasers. These systems help achieve milestones in a variety of fundamental research projects and are future-proof due to a fully digital interface.
Ultrafast Fiber Lasers
TOPTICA's pulsed all-fiber lasers utilize a combination of SAM mode-locked ring oscillators and PM fiber architecture, resulting in turnkey performance and robust 24/7 operation. A modular design concept with erbium- and ytterbium-doped fibers is the basis for different models (1560 / 780 nm, VIS / NIR tunable output, IR / NIR supercontinuum). Thus, pulse durations as low as 25 fs or output powers of more than 350 mW can be reached. In addition, dual-color solutions enable full flexibility by providing two laser beams simultaneously.
Terahertz Systems
With extensive expertise in diode lasers and fiber technology, TOPTICA is well-positioned to offer sophisticated, integrated systems for demanding applications. Their innovative solutions have opened up exciting opportunities for utilizing continuous or pulsed terahertz radiation, with ultra-broad bandwidth and an unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio. The company provides terahertz spectrometers as well as components for both time-domain and frequency-domain techniques.
Frequency Combs
The DFC productline (Difference Frequency Combs) merges TOPTICA’s know-how in ultrafast laser oscillators with its long lasting expertise in tunable diode lasers and locking electronics. The integrated novel CERO-technology enables precise frequency referencing with these offset-free, fiber-based frequency combs. Also, TOPTICA's tunable diode lasers in the region of 450 - 2200 nm can be phase-locked to the frequency combs. By offering a full range of frequency-referenced laser systems, including wavelength meters and counters, TOPTICA provides a comprehensive solution that is all available from a single source.
