IMPULSETM is an all-diode-pumped, direct-diode-pumped, Yb-doped fiber 
oscillator/amplifier system capable of producing variable pulse energies up to 
10μJ with user-selectable repetition rate between 200kHz1 and 25MHz. With 20 
watts average power output at 2MHz, IMPULSETM offers more than an 
order-of-magnitude higher power than has traditionally been available in a 
one-box ultrashort pulse laser design. 
  
IMPULSETM is based on a revolutionary new concept in mode-locked 
oscillator/amplifier technology. The Yb-doped fiber oscillator/fiber-amplifier 
design combines the low noise performance of solid-state operation with high 
spatial mode quality of fiber lasers. 
  
IMPULSETM is a compact, robust, one-box source of femtosecond to 
picosecond pulses with the ease-of-operation, stability and reliability you 
expect from a fiber source. All major parameters are computer controlled, 
enabling easy interface to workstation or experiment. IMPULSETM is 
even iPhone/ iPod2 App enabled. 
  
Optional accessories include multi-photon photo-polymerization, waveguide 
writing, micromachining, harmonic generation, and OPA/NOPA wavelength conversion 
for high S/N and rapid data acquisition in pump/probe experiments.
