Successful Delivery | Y-laser Successfully Delivers HELIOS Laser to Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics
2025.12.31
In ultrafast laser technology, the Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplification (OPCPA) system, as a powerful gain mechanism, plays a crucial role in the generation of high-precision, broadband ultrafast pulses. The OPCPA system typically consists of two key components: the signal source and the pump source. The seed source, as the core of the signal source, directly determines the overall performance of the OPCPA system with its stability, spectral characteristics, and pulse quality. The seed source needs to maintain precise temporal characteristics during the laser pulse transmission process and must also work well with the pump source to ensure an efficient gain process.

In the OPCPA system at the Attosecond Research Institute, the pump laser needs to provide a high-energy, high-repetition-rate, and stable light source to ensure efficient gain and high-quality output of the OPCPA. To meet these stringent requirements, we have introduced the HELIOS laser as the ideal seed source for the OPCPA system, providing strong support for your ultrafast laser system.

The HELIOS laser provides 2mJ of pulse energy, making it ideal as a pump source for the OPCPA system, ensuring efficient gain during the OPCPA process.

2.Excellent Beam Quality:
The HELIOS laser features outstanding TEM00 mode beam quality, ensuring the output beam meets the stringent beam quality requirements of the OPCPA system.

3.Stable Pulse Duration and Repetition Rate:
The HELIOS laser offers highly stable pulse duration and repetition rate, which are crucial for a pump source, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the OPCPA system.

4.Flexibility and Compatibility:
The HELIOS laser is designed with compatibility in mind, particularly in adjusting pump energy, beam shape, and other factors, offering high adaptability to meet the Attosecond Research Institute's requirements for system stability and flexibility.



The HELIOS series femtosecond lasers offer a maximum output power of 20W and a maximum single-pulse energy of 2mJ (customizable to 3mJ), with the shortest pulse duration reaching 190 fs. The pulse width is adjustable from 190 fs to 10 ps. Its high stability and precise output characteristics make it an excellent performer in the ultrafast laser field. Equipped with a 1030 nm central wavelength in either horizontal or vertical polarization, the beam quality is M² < 1.2, and the beam diameter is 5±1 mm, ensuring the system can achieve precise focusing and stable output. The laser supports pulse selection, with repetition rates adjustable from single-shot to kHz-200 kHz (1 MHz customizable), and the pulse energy stability is <1% RMS @8h. The long-term power stability reaches <0.5% RMS @24h, making it ideal for high-precision experiments and industrial applications.
