July 17, 2006 - Equipped with Ti:sapphire oscillator, Cortes-800 consists of 3 chirped pulse amplification stages on single optical table. It achieves pulse energies greater than 1.5 J before compression in vacuum chamber. Active feedback and pulse shaping allow unit to produce sub 30 fs output pulses with peak powers greater than 40 terawatts. Wavelength is 795-820 nm at repetition rate of 10 ±0.5 Hz. Timing and control software make unit suited for study of high-energy laser-matter interaction.

Cortes-800 Terawatt Amplification System

San Diego, CA (June 12, 2006) - Del Mar Photonics announced today the new Cortes-800 amplification system, which provides terawatt peak power in a compact package. Fully integrated timing and control software make the Cortes-800 a perfect tool for the study of high energy laser-matter interaction.

Seeded with a Ti:sapphire oscillator, such as the Trestles Ti:sapphire oscillator, Cortes-800 consists of three chirped pulse amplification (CPA) stages that fit on a single optical table. Pulse energies of greater than 1.5 J are achieved before compression in a vacuum chamber. Active feedback and pulse shaping allows the Cortes-800 to produce extremely high contrast ratios, and sub 30 fs output pulses with peak powers greater than 40 terawatts.

Cortes-800 includes an oscillator, stretcher, amplifiers and compressor subsystems and has a wavelength range of 795-820 nm at a repetition rate of 10 ± 0.5 Hz. An optional acousto-optic programmable filter and deformable mirror are used to control the temporal duration and Strehl ratio of the amplified beam. Synchronization electronics controlling the trigger delays are controlled via a PC running LabView. Cortes-800 is ideal for a wide variety of research areas requiring ultrashort, high-intensity pulses. Applications include time-resolved spectroscopy, telecommunications, photochemistry, photobiology, plasma physics, x-ray generation, multispectral, atmospheric lidar and material processing.
