Description
The BoosTA pro, TOPTICA’s optical amplifier, increases the output power of a DL pro or any other linearly polarized master laser by up to 20 dB (x100).
Following TOPTICA’s well-established pro-technology, a TA chip is mounted in a compact unit with optimized heat management and beam-shaping optics. The BoosTA pro is operated with our all-digital driver electronics, DLC pro, and can work with currents up to 5A and 7A (DLC BoosTA pro HP). The BOOSTA Pro can be conveniently operated with a DL Pro, DFB Pro, or CTL master laser using one DLC Pro.
The BoosTA Pro head includes a high-bandwidth current modulation board, which—when used in a closed feedback loop—allows for compensating power fluctuations of the master laser by adjusting the amplifier gain. The board also features a protective circuit to avoid the risk of electronic chip damage. Optional fiber input coupling can greatly simplify seed-laser beam management. Other options are optical isolators and fiber output coupling. The BoosTA Pro head has sufficient space for a 60 dB isolator to protect the TA chip from back reflections.
