FLINT oscillators are based on an Yb crystal pumped by a high‑brightness laser diodes. Generation of femtosecond pulses is provided by Kerr lens mode-locking. Once started, mode-locking remains stable over a long period and is immune to minor mechanical impact. Oscillator cavity length can be adjusted using an optional piezo actuator. FLINT oscillators can also be equipped with carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization and repetition rate locking to an external source.
- Maximum output power and pulse energy depends on the chosen pulse duration, e.g., < 50 fs – 2 W, 26 nJ, < 40 fs – 1 W, 13 nJ.
- Assuming Gaussian pulse shape.
- Depends on repetition rate. Approximate values are given for 76 MHz repetition rate.
- Other repetition rates are available in the range from 60 to 100 MHz.
- Other repetition rates are available in the range from 70 to 80 MHz.
- Choice of a particular central wavelength with ±1 nm tolerance is available upon request.
- With enabled power-lock, under stable environment.
- Normalized to average pulse energy, NRMSD.
FLINT oscillators equipped with an automated second harmonic generator (HG) provide a selection of fundamental (1035 nm) or second harmonic (517 nm) outputs using software control. In case fundamental and second harmonic outputs are required simultaneously, then HIRO harmonic generator is the solution.
FLINT oscillators can be equipped with feedback electronics for carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization of the output pulses. The carrier-envelope offset (CEO) of the oscillator is actively locked to 1/4th of the repetition rate with a <100 mrad standard deviation.
FLINT oscillators are customizable for repetition rate locking applications. Coupled with the necessary feedback electronics, the repetition rate can be 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. Continuous phase shifting is available on request.
