Cr:Forsterite Femtosecond Laser
zoom in  
   
        The CrF-65 chromium-forsterite laser from Avesta offers unique active media that radiates 65-fs pulses around 1250 nm. The laser features integrated Peltier TC with control unit for crystal cooling to low temperatures for higher average power generation and precise temperature control. Electromagnetic starter is also included for mode-locking observation and restoration at volatile lab temperature conditions.
    The CrF-65P version integrates a 10 W fiber pump laser and control unit. The 1250 nm region offers new horizons for microscopy where fs pulses conquer new heights each year. The CrF-65P laser can also be used as a seed oscillator for building high power Cr:F amplifiers.
    CW version of the CrF-65 is available separately as the LF-100 laser.
