Unleashing low-noise potential of 1030-nm femtosecond lasers

Menhir Photonics’ robust and reliable ultra-low noise comb lasers are now a renowned reference in the field. At 1030 nm, we present our new MENHIR-1030 series which features high energy stability (<0.05% RMS) and the lowest jitter (less than 10 fs). Our highly compact oscillators, available from 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz, support repetition rate and carrier-envelope offset frequency tuning capabilities essential for enhancement cavities and frequency combs. We will review the laser's key parameters enabling record results, including >500 kW average power in an enhancement cavity beneficial for efficient nonlinear conversion and advancements towards a fully stabilized MENHIR-1030 frequency comb.
