Infrared Imaging : The best gets better
Viewing infrared wavelengths between 0.4-1.5microns, the converted image produced by the new 7215 is now brighter and offers edge to edge sharpness.
A pulse repetition rate of 20MHz is standard, and other rates from 10 to 100MHz are available.
The PSL series provides picosecond fibre lasers operating nominally at 10 and 40GHz with pulsewidths less than 1.5ps.
The 10MHz version has a pulse repetition frequency adjustable from 5 to 13GHz and outputs up to 100mW optical power.
The 40GHz model runs from 38 to 41GHz with better than 25mW of output power.
Low timing jitter, low amplitude noise and automatic or manual mode-locking are features of these easy-to-operate lasers.
When combined with Calmar's bitrate multipliers, pulse repetition rates up to 640GHz are possible.
As with all Calmar's products these systems are designed to be simple to operate, maintenance free turnkey solutions.
They will find applications in Ti-sapphire amplifier seeding, multiphoton microscopy, semiconductor characterisation, network component testing, biomedical research and metrology, to name a few.
