Ultrafast Ti:Sapphire Amplifier

Astrella is specified to provide >7 mJ pulse energy at 1 kHz, 800 nm at either <35 fs or <100 fs pulse widths. HASS* testing is employed to ensure long term reliability and reproducibility.

The integrated, one-box design employs the new STAR regenerative amplifier module for increased energy, beam quality and stability. This is seeded by Coherent’s hands-free Vitara oscillator, and is powered by a new pump laser offering enhanced power overhead, stability and beam quality. The final, key sub-system is the advanced, sealed stretcher / compressor designed for superb dispersion compensation and durability.
