Ekspla's High repetition rate APL series amplifiers are designed to produce up to 150 mJ picosecond pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate (or 500 mJ at 100 Hz repetition rate). High pulse energy, excellent pulse-to-pulse energy stability, superior beam quality makes these amplifiers well suited for applications like OPCPA pumping, non-linear optics and others.
REGENERATIVE AMPLIFIER / POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN
APL series amplifiers are designed to be seeded by external seeding source. Diode pumped regenerative amplifier ensures amplification of seed signal to stable mJ level pulse for amplification in linear amplifiers. Advanced beam shaping ensures smooth, without hot spots beam spatial profile at the laser output. Low light depolarization level allows high efficiency generation of up to 4th harmonic with optional build-in harmonic generators. Alternatively Ekspla can offer an internal seeder meeting customer’s requirements.
BUILD-IN HARMONIC GENERATORS
Angle-tuned LBO and/or BBO crystals mounted in temperature stabilized heaters are used for second, third and fourth harmonic generation. Harmonic separation system is designed to ensure high spectral purity of radiation and direct it to the output ports.
SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT LASER CONTROL
For customer convenience the amplifier can be controlled through USB and LAN interfaces (RS232 as optional). The amplifier can be controlled from personal computer with supplied software for Windows operating system.
