ARGO MPC – Multi-pass cell post-compression for Yb-lasers

High compression efficiency for ultra-short pulses
  • Compression factor: up to 10x (single stage)
  • Conversion efficiency: up to 90% (compressed)
  • Shortest pulse duration possible: < 30 fs
  • Pump pulse energies: up to 1.5 mJ
  • Repetition rate: up to 1 MHz

Introduction

ARGO MPC: High Efficiency Multi-Pass Cell Post-Compression for Yb Lasers

ARGO MPC is a non-linear pulse compression system with available pump laser integration. It achieves compression factors up to 10x, and pulse durations down to 30 fs with market-leading throughput. Wavelength conversion stages enable 515 nm and 343 nm outputs at short pulse durations. Our new Class 5 Bridge, an IoT-enabled modular control system, connects multiple ARGO units to build advanced pump-probe setups.
