What happens when two independent fiber lasers are synchronized with femtosecond precision?
With our SONATA (1030 nm) and SOPRANO (1550 nm) fiber lasers, we have achieved an unprecedented level of synchronization:
✅ Using Cycle TCBOC, we measure relative time errors with a sensitivity of 18.3 mV/fs.
✅ The two lasers are tightly phase-locked using Cycle E-SYNC, with an out-of-loop jitter of only 2 fs (0.1 Hz – 5 MHz).
✅ Over 140 hours of stability measurement showed a long-term drift of only 1.3 fs RMS.</p>
📊 The graph shows both the measurement setup and the results achieved – from spectral jitter density to long-term drift.
👉 We are thus presenting a state-of-the-art synchronization system based entirely on Cycle components. It enables timing-critical experiments such as dual-color multiphoton imaging, pump–probe physics, nonlinear frequency conversion, attosecond science, as well as precision timing distribution and synchronization.
💡 What makes it special: All components used come from the Cycle product line – a fully integrated setup that combines the highest scientific precision with industrial reliability. Please refer to our website for more information: https://www.cyclelasers.com/products/
👉 We see this result as an important step toward robust, femtosecond-accurate multi-laser systems for laboratories and infrastructures worldwide.
🔑 Benefits for users in research & industry: ✨ Higher measurement accuracy – stable synchronization minimizes timing errors in pump–probe & dual-color experiments 🔁 Improved reproducibility – long-term drift <2 fs ensures consistent results over days ⚡ Seamless integration – fully Cycle-based setup reduces complexity and accelerates lab deployment 🔍 Learn more about the individual products: SONATA – https://www.cyclelasers.com/femtosecond-lasers/sonata-10-40/ SOPRANO – https://www.cyclelasers.com/femtosecond-lasers/soprano-ca/ TCBOC – https://www.cyclelasers.com/synchronization-modules/tcboc/ E-SYNC – https://www.cyclelasers.com/synchronization-modules/asu/ Full overview: https://www.cyclelasers.com/products/ [Ref] Şafak, K., Xin, M., Peng, M.Y. et al.
