Spectroscopy and Sensing Applications with smart CW Mid-IR Laser
In the fast-changing scientific landscape, the need for precise, efficient, and cost-effective spectroscopic tools is increasingly critical. The TOPO smart, a continuous wave (CW) mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser, represents a significant advancement in molecular spectroscopy. This laser presents a robust alternative to traditional interband and quantum cascade lasers. The TOPO smart is an advanced CW optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that leverages a unique pumping scheme to boost performance while minimizing size and operational costs. Positioned strategically, the TOPO smart bridges the gap between lower power, narrowly tunable interband and quantum cascade lasers, and more powerful, broadly tunable CW OPOs, such as the TOPO series. Application Spectrum of TOPO smart The TOPO…

Power and Stability: Highly reliable CW Raman Fiber Amplifier
TOPTICA’s new highly reliable Raman fiber amplifiers (RFA) are based on patented technology. With their high power of up to 30 W the amplifiers cover the wavelength range from 1120 to 1370 nm that is not accessible by Yb or Er fiber amplifiers. The all-fiber design requires no re-alignment and provides a high degree of stability. The RFA offers a wide tuning range of up to 10nm, a relative intensity noise <1% RMS (10 Hz- 10 MHz) and excellent long term RMS power stability of less than 0.5 % over 100 hours (with a TA pro seed laser). For wavelengths outside this range please enquire for a custom system. The RFA is…

Next Step for Quantum Communication
Quantum networks will be the infrastructure for many disruptive applications, such as efficient long-distance quantum communication and distributed quantum computing. A quantum communication testbed is now operational between Universität des Saarlandes and Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes Saarbrücken, with dimensions that can simulate real life applications. TOPTICA lasers control the quantum memories and synchronize the two network nodes. The groups of Jürgen Eschner and Christoph Becher at the Saarland University (UdS) are using single trapped ions and single photons to develop and study the basic building blocks for future quantum networks. Bridging 30 km with Entangled Photons An essential aspect of these networks is the ability to distribute…

New Frequency Comb Can Identify Molecules in 20-Nanosecond Snapshots
Used with permission. National Institute of Standards and Technology, rights reserved. From monitoring concentrations of greenhouse gases to detecting COVID in the breath, laser systems known as frequency combs can identify specific molecules as simple as carbon dioxide and as complex as monoclonal antibodies with unprecedented accuracy and sensitivity. Amazing as they are, however, frequency combs have been limited in how fast they can capture a high-speed process such as hypersonic propulsion or the folding of proteins into their final three-dimensional shapes. Now, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), TOPTICA Photonics AG and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a frequency comb system that can…
