FEMTOSOURCE™ fusion™ M1
The new benchmark for ultrafast laser oscillators
FUSION™ M1 is the most powerful member of the ultra-compact Ti:Sapphire oscillator family. Maximum stability and ease of operation combined with cutting edge laser parameters from a compact laser oscillator are guaranteed. These attributes are achieved through an integrated high reliability pump module in combination with a low-loss high-efficiency cavity design. All FUSION™ models make use of FEMTOLASERS´ patented Dispersive Mirror technology, which is specifically designed for broadband intracavity group delay dispersion compensation.
Mode-locked average output power exceeding 1W is now available with all features of a state-of-the-art ultrafast laser. FEMTOLOCK™ repetition rate stabilization, tunability in bandwidth and custom center wavelength control are just a selection of a rich list of features available with the FUSION™ M1.
The FUSION™ is designed for demanding applications such as seeding of amplifier chains, material processing, coherent THz generation, time resolved spectroscopy and multi-photon processes. All of these benefit from more than 1 Megawatt of peak power provided by the FUSION™ M1.

FEMTOSOURCE™ scientific™ XL 650
The FEMTOSOURCE™ scientific™ XL 650 is the most powerful Chirped Pulse Oscillator of the scientific™ XL family designed specifically for applications which demand even higher pulse energies. Now more than 650 nJ at less than 50 fs are available at MHz repetition rates.
The FEMTOSOURCE™ XL represents a new generation of high pulse energy, ultrafast compact Ti:Sapphire oscillator systems. It is based on FEMTOLASERS´ patented revolutionary Chirped Pulse Oscillator technology. Throughout the extended cavity a streched (chirped) pulse circulates allowing the pulse energy to build up to extraordinarily high levels without causing instabilities. With the patented Dispersive Mirror technology, for low loss intra-cavity dispersion control, the broadest bandwidth directly from a high energy oscillator is guaranteed.
This system offers the shortest optical pulses in combination with the highest peak powers and pulse energies commercially available from a compact, high repetition rate laser system.
The scientific™ XL is designed for demanding applications such as materials processing, coherent THz generation, time resolved spectroscopy, and multi-photon processes. All of these benefit from more than 13 Megawatt of peak power provided by the FEMTOSOURCE™ scientific™ XL 650.

FEMTOPOWER™ compact
New members in the multipass amplifier family
FEMTOLASERS’ successful line of high power ultrafast Ti:Sapphire amplifier systems is now available with extraordinary features in the 3rd generation since its introduction in 1997. The unmatched combination of the FEMTOSOURCE™ rainbow™ seed oscillator with the FEMTOPOWER’s multipass amplifier scheme guarantees unprecedented stability and inherent lowest CEP noise. The feedback signal for CEP stabilization is derived from our proprietary compact and robust Difference Frequency Generation approach (DFG), utilizing the ultrabroad bandwidth of the FEMTOSOURCE™ rainbow™.
Using our proprietary sealed vacuum chamber system for the amplifier crystal combined with our proprietary Dispersive Mirror technology for dispersion management, the system generates the shortest, high energy optical pulses commercially available. Featuring unprecedented pulse quality, short-term, long-term and CEP stability and reproducibility, the amplifier system is the optimum light source for attosecond- and intense laser science.
The pulse-background contrast is the highest in commercial amplifier systems where the main pulse contains the entire energy without pre-pulses or pedestals. In combination with the unsurpassed short pulse duration, the highest possible peak power is available for demanding experiments.
Applications include Atto science, High Harmonic Generation incl. x-ray generation, time resolved ultrafast spectroscopy, frontend for TW and PW ultrafast amplifier systems, femtochemistry, coherent THz generation, materials processing, OPA pumping and many others in the demanding scientific environment.

FEMTOSOURCE™ scientific™ XL 500
Flagship of high power ultrafast laser systems
The FEMTOSOURCE™ scientific™ XL 500 is the flagship of an entirely novel family of high power ultrafast laser systems. This laser system will revolutionize many applications by offering a unique combination of laser output parameters. An output energy level exceeding 0.5 ?J and a pulse duration of less than 50 fs in combination with a repetition rate of greater than 5 MHz yields an unprecedented average power level of > 2.5 W and > 10 MW of peak power. The center wavelength is 800 nm.
Based on our patented dispersive mirror technology, in combination with our proprietary Chirped Pulse Oscillator (CPO) technology, the FEMTOSOURCE™ scientific™ XL represents a crossover between ultrafast oscillators and ultrafast amplifier systems, combining the advantages of both technologies, while omitting their disadvantages.
The CPO technology is based on our successful ultrafast oscillator technology, making complex Q-switched pump lasers, extensive cooling, high voltage and E-O switches obsolete. As a result, the system offers an excellent stability, user-friendliness, line to laser output efficiency and compactness. The temperature stabilized laser head dimensions are 1240 x 540 x 208 mm (49” x 21” x 8.2”).
Applications include materials processing, THz generation, spectroscopy and many others in the demanding scientific environment. Processes, where ultrafast pulses and ultrahigh peak power combined with high power, stability and reliability are of advantage, will strongly benefit from the FEMTOSOURCE™ scientific™ XL.

MOSAIC™ | Dispersion management module
FEMTOLASERS announces the new MOSAIC™ model range of compact Dispersion Management Modules which enable for the first time easy access to undistorted pulse delivery in arbitrary complex optical systems.
All models of the MOSAIC™ line of Dispersion Management Modules feature the new state-of-the art high-dispersion mirrors that combine accuracy with compactness and ease of use.
Due to its advanced opto-mechanical design, the MOSAIC™ causes only minimal beam displacement, while maintaining high throughput levels upon insertion of the module. These features make the MOSAIC™ ideal for non-linear microscopy, employing dispersion pre-compensation that provides enhanced tissue penetration depths and reduced thermal loading of the samples.
For the first time, it will be possible to routinely employ dispersion mangement in biomedical applications due to the small size and user-friendliness of the MOSAIC™
