Features
Fiber-Coupled Input
Every VAMP tapered amplifier features a permanently aligned fiber-coupled FC/APC input port. This eliminates the pain-staking process of aligning the seed laser beam into the front facet of the tapered amplifier chip and ensures that your system is always aligned, allowing for superior power stability. For additional power stability, a power lock loop monitors and levels the output power to provide quiet, low-drift output all day long even when your laboratory environment changes.
Integrated Permanent Fiber-Coupling
Optical isolation of the amplifier output is standard on all models. The fiber-coupled versions feature the integrated optical isolator along with a permanently fixed and aligned steel jacketed fiber, eliminating fiber misalignment to increase efficiency and maintain power stability.
Computer Control and LabVIEW™ Support
Control of the TA-7600 is done through the TA-7600-LN controller. Simple intuitive controls mean you are up and running immediately. Front panel operation allows you to run your tapered amplifier without a computer. USB and RS232 connectors are also available to integrate into your computer setup along with LabVIEW™ and C# samples. The TA-7600-LN controller comes with both USB and RS-232 interfaces for optional remote control through a computer. We include a Windows application for plug-and-play control as well as Windows DLL and LabVIEW™ VI samples for greater programming flexibility.
Up to 2 W of Amplified Power
TA-7600 VAMP Tapered Amplifiers are designed to provide up to 2 W of amplified power at a variety of wavelengths. The VAMP will faithfully amplify a seed laser and maintain its spectral qualities, allowing for high power with excellent beam quality.
Active Input Power Monitoring
The TA-7600-LN controller features active input power monitoring to ensure that self lasing won't damage the tapered amplifier chip.
Pair with Seed Laser For a Complete MOPA System
When seeded with a low-ASE source such as the Vortex Plus or Velocity laser, the VAMP faithfully reproduces the narrow linewidth and high contrast ratio. The VAMP will also accept other seed sources, including many home-made ECDLs. Paired with your existing seed lasers of one of the New Focus lasers, you can easily create a complete MOPA system. When seeded with a low-ASE source such as the Vortex™ Plus or Velocity™ laser the VAMP faithfully reproduces the narrow linewidth and high contrast ratio. The VAMP will also accept other seed sources, including many home-made ECDLs. Contact Newport Sales for help in seeding the VAMP.
