Schematic setup of Trestles LH10-fs/CW laser system with built-in pump laser
Del Mar Photonics supply Trestles lasers as stand alone system, or as a one-box system with built-in DPSS pump laser.
The price of the system with DPSS pump depends on required output power.

The standard tuning elements indicated below are used in CW Ti:Sapphire lasers such as Trestles CW or Trestles fs/CW.
Those elements are also sold separately as standrad items or as a custom made components.

1) Thick etalon -
Thickness - 3 mm, diameter - 20 mm. Surface quality: Ð=1-2, N 1, ΔN 0.1,
λ/10, plane parallelism better than 10''. Thickness accuracy 5 um.



2) Thin etalon -
Thickness - 200 um, diameter - 15 mm. Surface quality: Ð=1-2, N 1, ΔN 0.1,
λ/10, plane parallelism better than 10''. Thickness accuracy 5 um.



3) Birefringent filter BRF -
We use a 3-plate assembled BRF (Lyot filter) with adjustable motorized mount (see attached drawing).

Total losses introduced into the cavity by the filter are 5% of the laser's output power. The FSR is defined by the thinnest plate and equals to around - 1.3*1014 Hz, while the maximum width is controlled by the thickest plate and equals to approx. 3.1*1012 Hz.

Dimensions of plate assembly ('filter' in the picture): dia 44.5 mm, t=13.5 mm. It should be properly aligned (Brewster to the beam) and rotated by some rotating mount around its axis to provide wavelength tuning.
