Mira Optima 900-F
|
|
The Mira 900
family of modelocked titanium:sapphire (Ti:S) lasers is a series of
versatile laser systems. The all-solid-state Mira 900 has become the
premier widely-tunable, modelocked laser available for both femtosecond
and picosecond scientific research. The 900-F is the femto-second
configuration, tunable between 700 nm - 980 nm, with a maximum output
power of ~0.65 W at peak wavelength (~800 nm). It has a nominal
repetition rate of 76 MHz.
The Mira laser operates on the Kerr Lens Modelocking (KLM) technique. In
the KLM process, the optical cavity is specifically designed to optimize
modelocking by utilizing changes in the spatial profile of the beam.
These changes are produced by the self-focusing that results from the
optical Kerr effect in the Ti:S crystal. The process itself is initiated
by a simple, optical design that varies the cavity length to create
transient short-pulse fluctuations.At the core
of the Mira system is the Verdi CW diode-pumped laser. This 532 nm green
laser offers several compelling advantages: stable, high-power
operation; a compact, completely sealed package; adjustment-free
operation. We are equipped with a 5W Verdi pump laser.

| Using a full
suite of on-board detectors and a dedicated electronic control system,
Optima displays important lasing parameters in real time, and
provides the tools needed to quickly maximize the performance of the
Mira laser. Through the Optima control panel, one receives a wide range
of system information on modelocking status, power level, and the CW
content of the beam. Control of CW content is simplified, compared to
alternative ultrafast designs, through a convenient, external adjustment
of the intracavity slit. The CW detector is also used to drive the
automated starting of the modelocking process. By using a sensitive
device for monitoring power, Optima can easily detect the relative laser
output power or fluorescence from the Ti:S crystal.
