Key Features
Dual Wavelength Pre-amplifier Platform
Reduces platform complexity for 1 μm and 2 μm amplifier work. Positions Polarian as flexible across key amplifier configurations.
Beam Stability Through Active Thermal Management
Reduces performance drift under thermal load. “Below 10 microradians” is the strongest quantified proof point.
500 W Continuous Wave Pump Power
Gives customers power headroom for demanding amplifier setups. High output capability is easier to understand and compare.
Flexible External Seed Input With Built-in Protection
Makes integration easier and reduces operating risk. Combines compatibility, seed dropout monitoring, and interlocks into one customer-relevant benefit.
Full System Architecture
The Polarian-BASE integrates seed handling, pump laser, and thermal management. Pair with a CPTEC Amplifier for a complete ultrafast system.
Why This Architecture Matters
Dual Wavelength Pre-Amps: 1µm and 2µm
793nm through 980nm pump drives both 1 micron and 2 micron pre-amplifier configurations.
Ruggedized
Universal 100 to 240 VAC input. 10 to 40 C operating range. Built for 24/7 industrial environments.
Thermally Stable
Active thermal management holds beam pointing below 10 microradians across the full operating envelope.
Scalable
Pair with any CPTEC model: TGF, 3C, or 2 micron. Same Polarian-BASE, different output configurations.
Coming Soon: Integrated Seeds
Fully integrated nano and pico seed units are in development. One unit. One vendor. Seed to amplified output.
Compare Configurations
The Polarian-BASE drives any CPTEC Amplifier to deliver a fully monolithic ultrafast system. Up to 500W pump power, pulse energies from 0.5 to 10 mJ, and peak power approaching 1 MW.
| Parameter | Value | Wavelength | Pulse Energy | M² |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPTEC-TGF | 400W | 1030-1080 nm | 1 mJ | <1.3 |
| CPTEC-3C | 330W | 1030-1080 nm | 10 mJ | 1.2 |
| CPTEC-2UM | 100W | 1900-2050 nm | 5 mJ | 1.2 |
