Optical Amplifier MSA

MOGLabs provides a wide variety of options for high-power laser-light generation using tapered amplifiers across a wide range of wavelengths. Systems can be constructed either with an integrated seed laser (MSA series) or using an external seed (MOA series) and provide up to 4W of optical output.

The MSA seeded amplifier uses the unique inherently self-aligned MOGLabs cateye laser with its very low frequency drift and industry-leading passive linewidth.

The design features wire-cut flexure mounts for the input and output coupling lenses, which provide outstanding passive stability. Furthermore, this provides easy realignment if the TA chip needs replacement after reaching end-of-life.

A wide range of isolators can be used, including compact isolators with 4mm aperture, through to double-stage isolators with 5mm aperture.

Options include:

Multiple stage optical isolation
Single-mode output fibre coupling
Dual beam output (free-space or fibre-coupled)
Enhanced ASE suppression using our proprietary ultra-narrow 0.2nm bandpass filter technology
Integrated beam-shaping to reduce profile ellipticity
Reduced mechanical footprint designs (MOAS/MOAL) for systems using an external seed laser
