Spectra-Physics Tsunami - Figure 3-5: Tsunami Femtosecond Tuning Curves for Broadband Optics When Pumped by the Various Millennia Diode-Pumped Cw Lasers Shown

Tsunami Mode-Locked Ti:sapphire Laser
3-6
The wavelength tuning range of the Tsunami laser is 675 nm to 1100 nm
(i.e., the rod and system are capable of continuous tuning over this range).
However, to facilitate stable, high output performance at any wavelength
within this range, several optimized, over-lapping mirror sets are available.
Three general-purpose sets cover the majority of the entire tuning range:
• Standard (
S) for 720–850 nm
• Long (
L) for 840–1000 nm
• Extra-long (X) for 970–1080 nm
Two other sets permit operation in these optional ranges:
•Blue (B) for 690–800 nm
• Mid-range (M) 780–900 nm
With the optional broadband set, the Tsunami can be tuned over almost the
entire range without exchanging intracavity optics:
• from <690 nm to >1025 nm
The Tsunami laser comes with the optics set(s) yo specified when you
ordered your system. The tuning curves for these mirror sets are shown in
Figure 3-5 through Figure 3-10. Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6 show the femto-
second and picosecond tuning curves for the broadband mirror sets for sys-
tems pumped by the various Millennia lasers indicated. Tuning curves for
the femtosecond and picosecond narrowband mirror sets are shown in Fig-
ure 3-7 through Figure 3-10. For information on optic sets for different
wavelength ranges, refer to Chapter 10, “Options and Accessories.”
