  • Twin-head systems can be seeded from a single seeder for mutually coherent pulses

Description

All lasers from the LPY series can be fitted with an injection seeder to provide true SLM operation.

The Single Longitudinal Mode (SLM) output is actively controlled by a piezo drive to the rear cavity mirror to ensure long-term stability of the output.
The seeder itself is mounted within the laser head on the ultra-stable Invar frame and is optically decoupled by two Faraday isolators for optical stability.

A choice is offered of seeding either super-Gaussian coupled resonators or true TEM00 resonators depending upon the application; see TEM00 Lasers.

With the highly modular Invar structure of the LPY series,, it is also possible to seed a twin-head laser system from one seeder, yielding two mutually coherent pulses. Output energies of up to 10J and repetition rates of up to 200Hz are available.
