A Newport Corporation Brand

nnnn

The Spectra-Physics Mai Tai® Ti:Sapphire oscillator is used for a variety of applications

nnnn

ranging from general spectroscopy to multiphoton microscopy. With its leading performance

nnnn

specifications and largest installed base of any laser of its type, the Mai Tai is truly a

nnnn

cutting-edge tool for basic research and biological imaging.

nnnn

The Mai Tai series includes four models of increasing power and tuning range to allow

nnnn

customers to choose the system to best match their application. Ideal for multiphoton

nnnn

microscopy, the Mai Tai HP with an integrated Spectra-Physics 14 W Millennia® pump laser

nnnn

provides more than 300 nm (690-1040 nm) in useable tuning range with over 2.5 W of

nnnn

average power and a pulse width of less than 100 fs. For customers interested in systems

nnnn

with a shorter pulse width, the Mai Tai BB and Mai Tai XF, both with integrated 10 W

nnnn

Millennia pump lasers, provide more than 240 nm in useable tuning range with a pulse

nnnn

width of less than 80 fs. Finally, the Mai Tai XF-1 with an integrated 5 W Millennia pump

nnnn

laser provides more than 200 nm in useable tuning range with an even shorter pulse width

nnnn

of less than 70 fs—an ideal choice for pumping the Spectra-Physics Spitfire® Ace™

nnnn

ultrafast amplifier system.

nnnn

The Mai Tai series reliability is maintained using the ultra-stable regenerative mode-

nnnn

locking technique proven with the Spectra-Physics Tsunami® oscillator. Using this method,

nnnn

the Mai Tai oscillator is capable of hands free, drop-out free wavelength tuning enabling

nnnn

speedy collection of excitation profiles all at the click of a mouse. StabiLok® real-time

nnnn

monitoring technology also enhances system reliability by providing excellent beam

nnnn

pointing stability and minimal average power fluctuations, as well as eliminating

nnnn

wavelength drift. These two features combine to make the Mai Tai oscillator the most

nnnn

reliable and most versatile hands-free laser source available.
