Applications
Repetition Rate Locking
FLINT femtosecond oscillators and PHAROS femtosecond lasers are used for repetition rate locking applications, one of the biggest being the locking and synchronization to synchrotrons, e.g., the world’s brightest storage-ring-based X-ray radiation source PETRA III at DESY. A synchronized laser system enables time-resolved experiments and can also be used as a synchronized switch for other physical variables, such as a magnetic field.
Coupled with the necessary feedback electronics, the repetition rate of FLINT or PHAROS is synchronized to an external RF source using the two piezo stages installed inside the cavity. The repetition rate locking system can assure an integrated timing jitter of less than 200 fs for RF reference frequencies larger than 500 MHz. A continuous phase shifting is available on request.
