Automated tunable laser CF131

Automated pulsed tunable solid-state Ti:Sapphire laser CF131 is a reliable and easy to use laser with long-term stability of output parameters, control over all output parameters and laser modules, crystals thermal stabilization and sealing, and a wide tuning range from infrared to ultraviolet region: from 950 to 189 nm.

The CF131 laser can be pumped using our pulsed Nd:YAG lasers, model LF114 or model LF117, or any other pump laser that meets the specifications.

Description of automated pulsed tunable Ti:Sapphire laser CF131

Widely-tunable from IR to UV region: from 950 to 189 nm.
Reliable and easy in use laser with long-term stability of output parameters.
Super-stable design with thermal stabilization and sealing of all crystals.
Control over all output parameters and laser modules.
Fully solid-state and pollution-free.
With narrow and super-narrow linewidth.

In the automated tunable laser CF131, the original optical configuration with a narrow laser line is used, which allows to generate the TEMoo radiation: more than 100mJ at fundamental.

Frequency converters (SHG, THG, FHG – second, third, fourth harmonic generators) extend the tunability range of the Ti:Sapphire laser CF131 to UV region: to 189 nm.

CF131 can be completed with a compact spectrometer of our SL40-2 or S150-2 series to allow wavelength control of a tunable laser in a broad spectrum range from 189 to 950 nm.

To pump the CF131 laser our pulsed Nd:YAG lasers of LF series can be used, model LF114 or model LF117, or any other pump laser that meets the specifications.
