Amplifiers and power supplies

Laser Components has added the HCA-400M-5K-C model of current amplifier to its HCA series of fast current amplifiers from Femto.

Menlo Systems has launched phase-stabilisation technologies that can generate attosecond ultraviolet pulses to free electrons and detect the released electrons on the surface with a few-cycle laser pulse.

High Q Laser has introduced the ultra compact femtoRegen UC OEM, a femtosecond regenerative amplifier that delivers 2W power at a 100kHz repetition rate with 400fs pulse duration.

The DA and DE Series from SDS deliver up to 6W of power from 1-6kV with input voltages between 15 and 24V. The APD Series provides up to 100mW of power from 200-500V with an input voltage 5V.

The new Legend Elite Duo from Coherent is an integrated ultrafast amplifier that delivers pulse energies over 6mJ at a 1kHz repetition rate.

Mitsubishi Electric has released a switchable power amplifier for WCDMA handsets that increases the talk time while reducing the number of components on the BOM.

The Odin-II multi-pass amplifier with cryogenically cooled add-on amplifier from Quantronix, and distributed by Photonic Solutions, is a commercial-grade modular Ti:sapphire amplifier system.

Newport's Spectra-Physics Lasers Division has introduced its new Solstice one-box ultrafast amplifier. It has an output average power of more than 2.5W at 1 or 5kHz.

Coherent is offering a fully integrated optical parametric amplifier that provides simple access to tuneable ultrafast pulses from wavelengths in the UV through to the mid-IR.

Femto Messtechnik is now offering the transimpedance amplifier DLPCA-200 for measuring currents in the sub-pico to milli-Ampere range. It offers a maximum bandwidth of 500kHz.
