All of Coherent Ti:Sapphire (Ti:S) ultrafast oscillators are based on reliable Kerr Lens Modelocking to produce a broad range of pulse durations, wavelength ranges and repetition rates.

Vitara is a family of hands-free and maintenance-free ultrafast Ti:S oscillators capable of extreme performance. With models capable of generating pulses <12 fs, powers close to 1W, adjustable bandwidth and center wavelength and a full range of advanced accessories, Vitara is the state-of-the-art choice for your most sophisticated applications.

The Chameleon family provides high output power and ultimate tuning range of 400 nm. Its fully automated and hands-free operations make Chameleon the ultimate engine for applications such as multiphoton excitation, microscopy and general spectroscopy. 

For over a decade Vitesse has been the laser of choice for sub-100 fs industrial applications with proven lifetimes of tens of thousands of hours. 

Users requiring maximum power and versatility can select our highly-configurable Mira systems pumped by an external Verdi Series pump laser and upgradeable with a large series of options and accessories.
A broad range of accessories (harmonic and parametric generators, pulse pickers, shapers and compressors, synchronization and CEP stabilization units) extends the performance of all these systems as well as upgrades systems already in the field. These advanced accessories provide users with tools that are always ready to propel the most innovative research applications.

Coherent announces improvements in extreme performance ultrafast oscillators

Calif., May 13, 2013 – The latest member of the Vitara family of extreme performance, closed-box, ultrafast oscillators from Coherent, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) – the Vitara UBB –provides hands-free access to pulsewidths under 10 femtoseconds, with options below 8 fs on request. Vitara UBB (Ultra BroadBand) achieves its short transform-limited pulsewidths because of its very broad bandwidth (> 200 nm at the -10 dB point). Its unique combination of short pulsewidths, broad bandwidth, high reliability and ease-of-use make Vitara UBB the ideal laser for applications in terahertz pulse generation, optical coherence tomography (OCT), pump-probe spectroscopy, multiplexed CARS spectroscopy, non-linear microscopic imaging and seeding short-pulse amplifiers.
By integrating Coherent’s field-proven Verdi G pump laser into the robust opto-mechanical design and applying Coherent’s exacting industrial laser manufacturing processes – including rigorous HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) – Vitara is engineered for reliability and performance. In addition, ease-of-use features such as electronically adjustable bandwidth control and PowerTrack active pump beam alignment make the Vitara-UBB an outstanding productivity tool in today’s results-driven research environment.
Founded in 1966, Coherent, Inc. is a world leader in providing photonics based solutions to the commercial and scientific research markets, and is part of the Standard & Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index and the Russell 2000.
