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
