venteon ultra & venteon CEP5

The Carrier Envelope Phase (CEP) is vitally important as the peak electric field will vary along with the CEP. As mode-locked systems produce shorter pulse durations, the relative importance of the phase becomes higher as there are fewer oscillations under each envelope. Novanta’s venteon ultra and venteon CEP5 are uniquely suited for CEP stabilization.

• Direct octave-spanning spectrum – from ~550nm to ~1200nm without an external means of nonlinear broadening such as a PCF provides greater ease of use and long-term stability for applications requiring ultrabroad spectral coverage and few-cycle pulse duration.

• Sub-5-fs duration without any external nonlinear means of pulse compression – the pulses are less than 2 optical cycles long and ideally suited for applications requiring the highest possible time-resolution.

• Carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization is done directly with the light from the laser  – using an f-2f interferometer with no white-light generation required for exceptional long-term stability.

• No acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is needed – and the servo bandwidth far exceeds that of conventional systems, leading to significantly better residual CEP noise.

taccor tune, taccor power, and taccor x10

Precision and accuracy are critical in metrology and frequency comb generation. In a world where OEMs need to deliver faster throughput whilst maintaining the same level of reliability in 24/7 output; laser systems are becoming increasingly popular.
• The 1 GHz repetition rate of the taccor power enables 10x greater mode separation and 100x power per mode – when used as an optical frequency comb compared to a conventional ~100MHz system. This relaxes requirements on prior knowledge of the frequency in an optical frequency measurement and simplifies the need for RF-filtering, providing greater signal-to-noise ratio for the beat signals.
• The taccor tune is a 1 GHz pulsed source with tunable center wavelength  – over more than 130 nm around 800 nm center wavelength with a high power spectral density (10s of mW/nm), an ideal source for single-photon generation setups at high event rates in quantum information network research.
• The taccor x10 delivers sub-50-fs pulses at a record high repetition rate at >1 W of average power – enabling unique applications like arbitrary optical waveform generation of direct frequency comb spectroscopy. The high mode separation enables a simple grating spectrometer sufficient to isolate and subsequently manipulate the individual frequency comb modes.
