General Product Overview

The new TACCOR is a unique turn-key femtosecond laser with a repetition rate as high as 1 GHz that delivers up to 1 W of average power in 50 fs pulses. Its innovative design combines a compact, hermetically sealed, vibration-resistant laser head that incorporates the Ti:Sapphire oscillator and pump laser, with a full feature support unit. The support unit houses the field replaceable pump diodes, isolating temperature effects from the head, and provides intelligent control that monitors laser performance and carries out diagnostics analysis. The result is a highly stable and reproducible product with a long lifetime and low cost of ownership, offering a 3 year/9000 h warranty.
