ALBATROSS – Single-Cycle Infrared Light at 2 µm

Designed for researchers and innovators at the forefront of infrared optoelectronics and spectroscopy, ALBATROSS combines ultrashort pulse durations, broadband spectral coverage, and exceptional waveform stability. Housed in a compact, robust platform and supported by intuitive control software, it is engineered for reliable operation and seamless integration into laboratory environments.

Key features:

• Pulse duration: <10 fs

• Spectral bandwidth: >1 octave (1.2–2.8 μm)

• Repetition rate: 25 MHz

• CEP stability: <10 mrad (10 Hz–1 MHz)

• RIN: <0.06% (10 Hz–1 MHz)

• Output power: >300 mW

 The system’s hallmark is its ultra-low noise performance. Featuring integrated carrier-envelope phase (CEP) noise below 10 mrad and relative intensity noise (RIN) below 0.06%, ALBATROSS ensures exceptional stability of both the optical field amplitude and phase.

Combined with sub-10 femtosecond pulse durations and a spectrum simultaneously spanning more than one octave around 2 µm, the laser system is ideally suited for exploring infrared opto-electronics on sub-cycle timescales and for spectroscopic measurements with unprecedented time resolution and sensitivity.

An optional Mid-IR Extension Module expands the accessible wavelength range to 12 µm, providing simultaneous spectral coverage from 3 to 12 µm and direct access to the molecular fingerprint region for advanced spectroscopic applications.
