Ti:Sapphire Regenerative Amplifiers „Spitfire ACE” now with improved specifications
The Spitfire® Ace™ is Spectra-Physics’ flagship amplifier system. It is the most technically advanced Ti:Sapphire regenerative amplifier commercially available. Equipped with proprietary XP cavity design, the Spitfire Ace provides guaranteed long term performance, low noise and reliable day-to-day operation resulting in consistent OPA performance and nonlinear wavelength conversion for use in the most demanding ultrafast applications.

The Spitfire Ace amplifier builds upon Spectra-Physics’ highly successful Spitfire platform. Every component has been carefully evaluated and selected to maximize stability. The system produces an industry leading average power of more than 6 W at 1 kHz and 10 kHz, and 7 W at 5 kHz with excellent beam quality.

The Spitfire Ace PA (Power Amplifier) builds upon this highly successful platform by offering even higher energy and output power. It produces more than twice the average power of the regen-only Spitfire Ace: at 1 and 10 kHz, it offers >12 W; at 5 kHz, >14 W is achieved. Thanks to the patented XP cavity, the beam quality is excellent providing M2 <1.45 even at the highest energy configuration.

Transient absorption spectrometer for femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy
Newport’s Transient Absorption Spectrometer (TAS) is a state-of-the-art instrument for femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. In an ultrafast pump-probe experiment using TAS, the sample of interest is excited by the pump pulse and the dynamics of the sample are monitored as a function of time at many wavelengths by a white-light supercontinuum probe routed with reflective optics to minimize chirp.

The probe light is sensed as a function of wavelength by the combination of a fiber coupled multichannel detector and imaging spectrograph, offering the optimum combination of sensitivity and dynamic range. There is substantial flexibility in the configuration of the optical layout, detection range and spectral resolution. TAS is designed for repetition rates ranging from 1-5 kHz and comes with straightforward LabVIEW®-based software.
