A Newport Corporation Brand

nnnn

The Spectra-Physics Spitfire® Ace™ is our flagship amplifier system. It is the most

nnnn

technically advanced ThSapphire regenerative amplifier commercially available. Equipped

nnnn

with our proprietary XPert™ technology, the Spitfire Ace sets a new standard for long term

nnnn

performance, low noise, and day-to-day reproducibility that is guaranteed, resulting in stable

nnnn

OPA performance and harmonic conversion for use in the most demanding applications.

nnnn

The Spitfire Ace amplifier builds upon our highly successful Spitfire platform. Every

nnnn

component has been carefully evaluated and selected to maximize stability. The

nnnn

revolutionary XP regenerative cavity has been upgraded to produce an industry leading

nnnn

average power of more than 5 W at 1, 5 and 10 kHz with excellent (M2 <1.3) beam quality.

nnnn

The proprietary XPert technology incorporates multiple elements to ensure maximum

nnnn

stability: Newport optomechanics and isolators, and Spectra-Physics proprietary optical

nnnn

coatings. The result is guaranteed stability with no pulse breathing, minimized short- and

nnnn

long-term noise, and guaranteed average power over hundreds of hours - stability that sets

nnnn

the Spitfire Ace amplifier system in a class all by itself.

nnnn

The Spitfire Ace performs optimally when seeded with the revolutionary Mai Tai® SP

nnnn

oscillator. The Mai Tai SP laser is a truly hands-free system that does not require alignment,

nnnn

cleaning or adjustments, and its specifications are guaranteed over an impressive 20°C

nnnn

temperature range.

nnnn

The Spitfire Ace is pumped with the new Empower® 45 laser, which delivers over 45 W of

nnnn

average power in a compact package. Equipped with proprietary noise reduction technology,

nnnn

the Empower 45 is the quietest amplifier pump laser on the market.

nnnn

With the combination of XPert technology, Mai Tai SP seeder and Empower 45 pump, the

nnnn

Spitfire Ace is the highest energy, most stable regenerative amplifier available. It is ideal for

nnnn

pumping multiple OPA systems and performing a wide range of nonlinear spectroscopies.

nnnn

Achieve new levels of performance with the Spitfire Ace.
