PRESS RELEASE

Date: 15th March 2016

Title: Laser Quantum Launches Taccor Comb

Laser Quantum launch a complete 1GHz mode spaced frequency comb

Stockport, England: Manchester-based Laser Quantum has launched its new taccor
comb, an exceptional supercontinuum typ.1uW per mode with easy access to VIS and
NIR ranges, and its first complete 1GHz frequency comb. Previewed at the Photonics
West exhibition in San Francisco, USA, in February, the taccor comb is now available
to the market. Laser Quantum have partnered with Menlo Systems to create a fully
stabilised frequency comb using the Menlo Systems XPS800-E electronics enabling
long-term stable RF signal at the carrier-envelope offset frequency with more than 40dB
signal-to-noise ratio.
The taccor comb will offer numerous benefits to metrology, optical clock precision and
searching for exoplanets. The key benefits include: large comb spacing of 1GHz
allowing easy determination of the comb mode index; high achievable power per
frequency comb tooth (at 1GHz), approximately 100 times higher than with a
conventional 100MHz laser; and a remarkably small footprint to fit into your work
spaces.

Dr. Albrecht Bartels, Managing Director of Laser Quantum Germany, said This is an
excellent product design, sealed and easy to use. The comb can fit into any lab and the
improved resolution and achievable power per mode being a cut above conventional
MHz lasers means your daily life can be much more efficient. I am excited to see the
comb come to market and know that it will make significant differences to those whose
research involves frequency combs.
