Customer inquiry:

I am working up a grant proposal, and I would like to get a price estimate for a laser system. Specifically, I need >=0.5W of laser power at 685-690nm with <=1MHz linewidth. I believe your DYE-SF-077 dye laser with a 6W pump would meet these specifications. I am also interested in the 40GHz smooth scanning option. In addition, I am wondering how much extra the Ti:Sapphire option is.

I've attached a paper describing some polarizability measurements that we want to continue using a ring dye laser. We plan on extending our polarizability measurements to a dipole forbidden transition, and the dye laser's power will be helpful for driving this transition.

1. Actively frequency-stabilized, continuous-wave, single-frequency ring Dye laser, model DYE-SF-077
Unique DYE-SF-077 laser has more narrow linewidth for Dye lasers on the present market. DYE-SF-077 laser has super-narrow linewidth (< 100 kHz) and unique Auto Re-lock function which is extremely useful in a work with frequency stabilized laser.

General description
• Ring design, three wavelength selectors: birefringent filter, thin and thick etalons, electronically controlled thick etalon to ensure laser operation in a single longitudinal-cavity mode.
• Ultra-narrow line width up to < 100 kHz/sec rms: active frequency stabilization to an external reference cavity, special fast PZT actuator with extended response bandwidth.
• Unique function Smart Auto-Relock that allows uninterrupted laser operation in the frequency stabilisation mode under arbitrary external perturbations.
• Actively thermostated high-finesse reference cavity, frequency drift <40MHz/hr.
• External lock capability for stabilization to an absolute reference (e.g. iodine saturated absorption line).
Wavelength range, power
• Spectral ranges 570-630 / 630-700 nm
• Laser optimized at factory for primary operation wavelength at 689 nm
• Output power at 685-690 nm 1W or better with 10W pump (DPSS, 532 nm, TEMoo).
• TEMoo mode, linear polarization.
General design
• Absolutely dry dye-jet laser: the laser has a reliable shutter for the dye solution during powering up and switching off the circulation system.
• Most of the mounts are placed on a horizontal base plate, which is also the top element of the compact rigid 3-D frame made from three invar rods that ensures high stability of the optical element positions.
• Ease of adjustment, simplified laser alignment in the ring configuration because of preliminary optimisation of the elements in the linear cavity, exceptionally accurate alignment of the pump beam position.
• Premium sapphire nozzle.
• Enclosed cavity with nitrogen purge port.
• Ergonomical and reliable electronic control unit featuring a built-in generator for smooth scanning of the laser frequency.
Dye Circulatuon System
• Compact and powerful system of dye solution circulation with a leak-free magnetically coupled pump.
• Efficient system for suppression of pressure fluctuations in the dye circulation loop.
• The dye solution circulation system of DYE-SF-077 is designed to make the procedure of dye change convenient and clean. Laser DYE-SF-077 may be shipped with several circulation systems, in which case switching between working spectral ranges will be extremely fast and simple.

Frequency-stabilized CW single-frequency ring Dye laser DYE-SF-077 pumped by DPSS DMPLH laser installed in the brand new group of Dr. Dajun Wang at the The Chinese University of Hong Kong. DYE-SF-077 features exceptionally narrow generation line width, which amounts to less than 100 kHz. DYE-SF-077 sets new standard for generation line width of commercial lasers. Prior to this model, the narrowest line-width of commercial dye lasers was as broad as 500 kHz - 1 MHz. It is necessary to note that the 100-kHz line-width is achieved in DYE-SF-077 without the use of an acousto-optical modulator, which, as a rule, complicates the design and introduces additional losses. A specially designed ultra-fast PZT is used for efficient suppression of radiation frequency fluctuations in a broad frequency range. DYE-SF-077 will be used in resaerch of Ultracold polar molecules, Bose-Einstein condensate and quantum degenerate Fermi gas and High resolution spectroscopy
