Timing you can trust. Performance you can prove. Cycle excited to announce the launch of their latest innovation: the SONATA 1-µm fiber laser, a next-generation femtosecond laser engineered for precision-critical applications in research and industry. With a clean and ultra-stable output at 1030 nm, the SONATA 10-40 delivers exceptional performance – enabling advanced techniques such as amplifier seeding, ultrafast spectroscopy, and nonlinear microscopy. At the heart of SONATA is a robust, Yb-doped fiber architecture that offers exceptional pulse stability, compact integration, and intuitive operation.
Designed for Integration. Built for Discovery. SONATA is more than a laser – it’s a fully-integrated solution tailored for scientific environments where synchronization and deterministic repetition rate control are essential. Whether you’re developing next-generation pump–probe setups, seeding optical parametric amplifiers, or driving attosecond experiments, SONATA provides the reliable and precise timing control you need – right out of the box.
Key Features:
150 fs Pulse Duration – Excellent temporal resolution for ultrafast experiments and synchronization tasks
40 MHz Repetition Rate or more – Ideal for high-throughput or nonlinear microscopy applications
Low Timing Jitter – Sub-10 fs jitter stability, perfect for timing-critical experiments
Compact & Turnkey Design – All-in-one housing with integrated electronics, optics and repetition rate control for hands-free operation
Active Synchronization Ready – Built-in RF monitor output, TEC control, and both fast and slow PZT for active timing synchronization
Applications:
High-precision pump–probe experiments
Timing distribution and synchronization in large-scale facilities
Seeding of OPCPA systems
Attosecond pulse generation
Frequency comb generation and metrology
Ready for the Future of Light With SONATA, you’re not just investing in a laser – you’re enabling the next generation of time-resolved science. From university labs to aerospace research centers, SONATA brings unmatched precision, stability, and ease of use to your photonics setup.
