Tunable Ultra-Narrow Band Diode Laser for Spin Exchange Optical Pumping (SEOP)
This laser system has been developed for Spin-Exchange Optical Pumping, Diode Pumped Alkali Laser and Rare Gas Lasers applications that require high power within an extremely narrow absorption resonance of Alkali Metal Atoms (Rubidium (Rb), Potassium (K), Cesium (Cs)) and Atoms of Rare Gases (Xenon (Xe, Argon (Ar) and Krypton (Kr)). It incorporates a unique proprietary volume Bragg grating design that enables ultra-narrow laser linewidth. The laser system capable of delivering from 35 to 100 W power radiation with a linewidth and wavelength tuning possibility. Polarization options include: random, linear and circular. External beam expander/polarizer allows up to 3 inch beam diameter with circular polarization. Hybrid laser systems contain several wavelengths for simultaneous pumping of several Alkali Metal atoms (i.e. Rb/Cs or Rb/K). Narrowband laser system for large area Raman spectroscopy for food quality control application is also available at 785 nm. The complete laser system contains power supply, temperature controller, chiller for water cooling, as well as an intuitive software interface. The fiber delivery with single fibers, fiber rods or fiber bundles, combiners, beam expanders, beam attenuators are optional.
