The C-band bench top femtosecond fiber laser (FPL) is a passively mode-locked fiber laser that utilizes a satu-
rable absorber to deliver excellent stability and reliability, with turnkey operation. Along with a portable design,
the FPL series offers user-friendly front panel control knobs for flexible adjustment of wavelength, pulse width,
and output power. Both tunable (throughout the C-band) and fixed wavelength versions are available. The
pulse width is factory selectable from 0.1 to 15 ps, with near transform-limited pulse shape and a better than 20
dB pedestal. The timing jitter is as low as 60 fs. The repetition rate can be specified from 10 to 100 MHz with
either a polarization-maintaining (PM) or non-PM fiber output. With up to 20 mW output power, the FPL series
is the most economical solution for applications requiring low power, such as seeding amplifier systems. An RF
synchronization output is provided as a trigger signal.
