Femtosecond Laser

SONATA – 1030 nm Yb femtosecond Laser

SESAM-free, all-PM, low-noise fiber laser with high environmental stability

  • Turn-key, hands-free operation
  • 30s laser start-up time
  • High frequency and intensity stability
  • Low timing jitter and relative intensity noise (RIN)
  • Dual isolated output ports at 1030 nm

Description

Cycle’s SONATA femtosecond laser delivers clean and low-noise pulses, and dual fiber/free-space outputs at 1030 nm.

It provides a chirped picosecond pulse from fiber port for amplification and a compressed free-space output for detection and stabilization—ideal for ultrafast applications, amplifier seeding, and nonlinear microscopy.

With optics and electronics integrated into a single compact unit, SONATA ensures a seamless, plug-and-play experience. Its femtosecond pulses, stable repetition rate, and fiber-based reliability make it a top choice for optics labs and industry.

 


Applications

  • Ultrafast pump-probe experiments with synchronization
  • Seeding high-power amplifiers
  • ASOPS setups
  • Nonlinear microscopy
  • Robust, turnkey research or industrial ultrafast applications
