The TA pro is the flagship product of TOPTICAs high power tunable diode laser solutions. Its tapered amplifier technology allows for high power with excellent beam quality, while at the same time maintaining the favorable spectral properties of the pro master laser. The TA pro is a completely revised version of a very well-established laser system, the TA 100. It has been optimized for extreme stability and ease of use, and has proved these properties in numerous tests in TOPTICAs and customers´ laboratories.
The DLC TA pro is equipped with TOPTICA's all digital DLC pro control electronics: with lowest noise and drift and more convencience, it also offers highest amplifier currents up to 10 A and additional protection for the amplifier chip. Also available with the economic SYS DC 110 laser electronics.
TA pro is also available as a TA pro AL with AutoAlign. TA pro AL allows integration of up to two complete MOPA systems. The AutoAlign feature can automatically optimize the coupling into the amplifier chip and fibers. For table-top TA pro AL systems, please inquire. The rack-mounted version of TA pro AL for integration in T-RACK is available as MTA pro.
With the TA pro FL variant locking is faster than ever laying the foundation for the next generation quantum technology. The system features an intra-cavity EOM which provides two feedback channels. One is used for fast adjustments to ensure the superb locking performance, the other guarantees the high robustness of the lock.
