Dear Customer,

Please find attached the datasheets for our new HIGH ENERGY amplifier system, the Legend Elite Duo™, the NEW integrated ultrafast amplifier that delivers pulse energies >6 mJ @ 1 kHz repetition rate!

The Legend Elite Duo is a two-stage amplifier. The first stage features the same high-power regenerative amplifier design used in the Legend Elite introduced earlier this year at Photonics West. The second stage is a simple linear amplifier that uses a thermoelectrically (TE) cooled Ti:Sa crystal. Because both amplifier stages are integrated into one box, the Legend Elite Duo is compact, easy to use and very stable. And, while alternative amplifier systems require two separate, low-power pump lasers, the unique high-power Evolution-HE laser can pump both amplifier stages. Rated at >45 mJ/pulse, the integrated Evolution-HE from Coherent further enhances the Duo’s simplicity and stability. The Legend Elite Duo, which can be seeded by Coherent’s Micra™ or, Mira™ or Vitesse™ ultrafast oscillators, is especially useful for many power-hungry applications.

Examples of where high power provides faster and more precise results include pumping multiple tunable OPAs for pump-probe photochemistry, and in ultrafast spectroscopy techniques such as CARS and fluorescence up-conversion. This high power also allows the Legend Elite Duo to be used as a shared resource, where the output is split in order to power several separate experiments.

Note: adding our new OPerA Solo OPA with INTEGRATED wavelengths extension and separators, you can achieve extended tuning range (190-2600nm) in a very compact 3-Boxes configuration!

          Legend Elite & Legend Elite Duo =  Better Ultrafast Every Day.
