Access to the loop filter settings allows the user to optimize the timing jitter and to adapt to different applications. Femtolock 2 enables synchronization of the laser’s repetition rate by locking on the fundamental input RF-frequency, on one of its higher harmonics or to easily switch between the two.  Femtolock 2 can be custom designed to meet your specific requirements in terms of frequency and configuration.

The system is based on a combination of fast piezo translator(s) (PZT) and a wide range translation stage. This arrangement allows the Femtolock 2 to compensate for fast fluctuations (kHz), as well as for slow or medium long term drifts (e.g. temperature drifts).  The unique configuration ensures resonance-free synchronization up to high frequencies and guarantees a long term drift-free operation.
