The Laser Quantum  taccor comb consists of a powerful 1 GHz turn-key Ti:sapphire laser with a matched dispersion compensation module, super-continuum generation and ultra-stable f-to-2f interferometer. It provides a long-term stable electrical output signal at the carrier-envelope offset (CEO) frequency with at least 35 dB signal-to-noise ratio in 100 kHz bandwidth that is phase-locked to an RF reference with electronics from our partner Menlo Systems. Tight locking of the mode spacing is accomplished using the TL-1000 repetition stabilisation unit. An optional supercontinuum generation module is available to create stable comb light between 520 nm and 1200 nm.
