Libra

One-Box, Ultra-Stable, kHz Repetition-

Rate, Ti:Sapphire Amplifier System

Configured in a one-box, ruggedized, ultra-stable, compact platform,

Libra features high performance comparable to advanced multi-box

systems. The compelling, customer-value advantage and market success

of Libra are enabled by key design innovations throughout and the Libra

concept has proven itself in a wide range of scientific applications and

demanding industrial settings.

All Libra models are seeded by the Vitara-S oscillator, our hands-free,

wide bandwidth oscillator. The design integrates Coherent’s newest

HASS verified Revolution pump laser with the E-2 Engine module –

Coherent’s thermally stabilized, high efficiency, regenerative amplifier

platform that includes a unique, Ti:Sapphire rod geometry enabling

simple, water-only cooling on all Libra models. Finally, a compact,

stretcher and compressor support high power, short pulses with

unsurpassed beam quality and stability.
