nnnnA Newport Corporation Brand
nnnnThe Spectra-Physics Spitfire® Ace™ is the most technically advanced ThSapphire regenerative
nnnnamplifier available. Equipped with the proprietary XPert™ technology, the Spitfire Ace has set
nnnnthe new standard for long term performance, low noise, and day-to-day reproducibility.
nnnnThe XPert stabilization package incorporates multiple elements to ensure optimal
nnnnperformance: Newport optomechanics and Spectra-Physics proprietary optical coatings come
nnnntogether to deliver expert level performance. To support today's demanding experiments, the
nnnnsystem performance is guaranteed over extended periods of time, placing the Spitfire Ace in a
nnnnclass by itself.
nnnnThe Spitfire Ace Power Amplifier builds upon this highly successful platform by offering even
nnnnhigher energy and output power. The Power Amplifier system produces more than twice the
nnnnaverage power of the Regen-only Spitfire Ace: at 1 kHz and 10 kHz, the system offers
nnnn>10 W; at 5 kHz, >12 W is achieved. Thanks to the patented XP cavity, the beam quality is
nnnnexcellent providing M2 <1.45 even at the highest energy configuration.
nnnnThe Spitfire Ace performs optimally when seeded using the revolutionary Mai Tai® SP
nnnnoscillator. This laser is a truly hands-free system, eliminating the need for re-alignment,
nnnncleaning or adjustments of any kind. The Mai Tai SP performance specifications are
nnnnguaranteed over an impressive 20°C temperature range
nnnnThe Spitfire Ace Power Amplifier system is pumped with two Empower® 45 lasers that
nnnntogether can deliver over 90 W of average power. Equipped with proprietary noise reducing
nnnntechnology, the Empower 45 is the quietest amplifier pump laser on the market.
