More energy from femtosecond lasers
Amplitude Systemes has introduced new higher energy lasers in its t-Pulse series of diode-pumped femtosecond laser oscillators.
Amplitude Systemes has introduced new higher energy lasers in its t-Pulse series of diode-pumped femtosecond laser oscillators With energies per pulse up to 0.2uJ, the t-Pulse series increases the energy available from femtosecond oscillators more than 20-fold

High power from solid-state laser
The Laser Quantum Torus series are single longitudinal mode lasers, which are completely free of mode-hops.
Top performance from excimer laser
The new EX5/500 excimer laser from GAM features an innovative all-metal/ceramic plasma tube that results in a gas fill that lasts up to ten times longer than traditional lasers.
There are three basic configurations offered as standard: the t-Pulse-20 rated for 20nJ/200fs at 50MHz repetition frequency; the t-Pulse-100 for 100nJ/300fs at 10MHz; and the t-Pulse-200 for 200nJ/400fs at 10MHz.
The t-Pulse series takes full advantage of new, high quality ytterbium doped materials.
Ytterbium lasers can be directly diode-pumped and do not require any additional green pump lasers.
They also offer a number of attractive properties, such as high thermal efficiency and the capability to generate femtosecond pulses with a high average output power.
The high energy pulses from the t-Pulse oscillators are obtained from a single resonator which does not require complex cavity dumping mechanisms.
This ensures ease of operator use through Amplitude's novel oscillator configuration and direct diode pumping.
The t-Pulse series lasers are built on a compact, small footprint, rugged mechanical base for enhanced stability.
Additional features include high reliability, low electrical power consumption and exceptional ease of use.
The model 20 footprint is only 20 x 60cm and the higher energy models 40 x 60cm.
Amplitude Systemes, located near Bordeaux, France, develops and manufactures diode-pumped ultra-fast solid-state lasers for scientific and industrial applications.
Pro-Lite Technology, located in Milton Keynes, England is the representative for Amplitude Systemes throughout the UK and Ireland.
