Fiber Lasers:
FFL Series of Picosecond and Femtosecond Fiber
Lasers are Er-doped (1550 nm band) and Yb-doped (1060 nm band) fiber
lasers that generate short pulses via mode-locking with an InGaAs
saturable absorber. Models are available with pulsewidths of 10 ps, 5
ps, 2 ps, 600 fs, or 150 fs at pulse-repetition rates of 20 to
50 MHz, with 1 to 7 mW of average output power. Polarization-maintaining
output is standard on the FFLs.
UOC Series of Ultrafast Optical Clocks are
easy-to-use actively-mode-locked fiber lasers that provide high
pulse-repetition frequencies and high average output powers for 1550 nm
time-division-multiplexed communications R&D. Models are available for
the 1550 nm and
1060 nm bands with repetition rates from 5 to 40 GHz.
Now with Quick-Change filters for pulsewidths of <10 ps, <5 ps, <2.5 ps,
and <1.6 ps.
Multipliers, Compressors, SHG/THG:
OCM Series of
Optical Clock Multipliers
increase the frequency of input optical signals in the range of 10 to 40
GHz by factors of 2, 4, 8, and 16. Output frequencies up to 320 GHz have
been achieved with PriTel's OCM.
FP Series of FEMTOPULSE™
Optical Pulse
Compressors are unique 1550-nm optical fiber amplifiers that
provide for amplification of short pulses with minimal
self-phase-modulation and minimal dispersion. Models are designed for
use with PriTel's lasers to compress 3-ps pulses to <400 fs.
SHG/THG Series of
Second/Third Harmonic
Generators combine the ease of operation of the FFL laser with
fiber pigtailed optics of the Periodically Poled LiNbO3 module into a
765-780 nm/510-520nm tunable source with pulse repetition rates from 10
MHz to 100 MHz.
Optical Fiber Amplifiers:
FA Series of
Low and
High Power Optical
Fiber Amplifiers are designed for R&D applications in
telecommunications, CATV, fiber lasers, optical switching, solid state
lasers, metrology, etc. Low-power models are available with output
powers from 12 to 23 dBm, and high power models are available with
output powers from 24 to 37 dBm.
PMFA Series of
Polarization Maintaining
Optical Fiber Amplifiers provide lower noise and reduced
amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) than non-PM amplifiers while
maintaining the input polarization with a high extinction ratio, >22 dB.
Models are available with output powers up to 13 to 37 dBm.
SPFA Series of
Sub Picosecond Optical
Fiber Amplifiers employ short lengths of Er-doped and undoped
fibers to minimize dispersion, as well as Er-doped fiber with a
10-micron core diameter in some models (vs. 5 microns in the FA Series)
to obtain high pulse power. Models are available with output powers up
to 33 dBm.
LNHPFA Series of
Low-Noise High Power
Optical Fiber Amplifiers are high-sensitivity, low-noise power
amplifiers. Model LNHPFA-23 produces 23 dBm of output power with input
power of only -20 dBm by integrating a low-noise preamplifier, a tunable
band-pass filter, and a high-power amplifier.
FA-L Series of
L-Band Optical Fiber
Amplifiers are designed for R&D applications at 1565 to 1615
nm. Models are available with output powers up to 27 dBm. Dispersion
management allows excellent sub-picosecond pulse performance in the
L-Band with minimal polarization mode dispersion.
Yb-FA Series of
1060nm Optical
Fiber Amplifiers are designed for R&D applications in 1060nm
band for fiber lasers, metrology, material science, etc. These
amplifiers are available at various output power levels (18 to 33 dBm)
in both polarization maintaining and insensitive versions.
