SuperK LLTF
The Laser Line Tunable Filter (LLTF) Contrast accessory provides a tunable and
extremely narrow bandpass filter with out-of-band (OOB) suppression in the
order of 60 dB. The filter can be continuously tuned over the entire spectrum of
the supercontinuum laser, converting the wide band beam to a finely tuned
picoseconds laser. The LLTF Contrast uses a non-dispersive filter that maintains
the intrinsic single mode beam quality of the laser.
There are four LLTF Contrast models, each provide a specific tuning range as
shown in table Table 22. Depending on the tuning range required, the LLTF
accessory supports filters that cover both visible and NIR tuning ranges. Further,
a separate PC-based GUI application is required to provide filter tuning control
through USB 2.0 connectivity. A diagram of the main accessory connections is
shown in Figure 68.
Output delivery
The beam delivery from the LLTF Contrast is fiber coupled using a Fiber Deliver
(FD) such as a SuperK Connect (fiber coupling connector).
