This ultrafast lasers provides an octave-spanning spectrum at a repetition rate of 85 MHz. The octave-spanning spectrum allows for carrier offset frequency stabilization without external spectral broadening. The high repetition rate is useful for high cycling pump-probe experiments and frequency comb applications. Additional applications include biological probing and imaging. The Octavius-85M is most suited for amplifier seeding, particularly in optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers (OPCPA) and attosecond pulse generation.

The Octavius-85M incorporates Dispersive Octave-Spanning Mirror Pairs, which are required for group delay control with high precision over an octave-wide bandwidth. The spectral bandwidth required to provide such short pulses is greater than the gain spectrum of the Ti:Sapphire laser medium. The high intensity of these short pulses induces a strong nonlinear Self-Phase Modulation (SPM), which creates additional intracavity broadening beyond the gain bandwidth of Ti:Sapphire. The uniquely engineered cavities exploit the interplay between strong SPM in the Ti:Sapphire crystal and the dispersion generated by the dispersive mirror pairs to provide stable ultra-short pulses not possible with standard cavity designs. The spectral content, at one octave of bandwidth, enables a robust, long-term stable, f/2f carrier envelope offset frequency beat detection with more than 30 dB signal-to-noise ratio in a 100 kHz bandwidth.
