Wide non-hopping mode piezo tuning
The TLB-6800 Vortex Plus laser features a wide, non-mode-hopping piezo-tuned transducer tuning range of 25-120 GHz with sub-picometer resolution.

High stability and narrow line width
The Star-Flex Tuned Arm Actuator is designed to provide a high degree of stability. The design achieves rigid, reproducible rotational motion without any translation. In addition, with precise temperature control of the laser cavity and diode, we can reduce wavelength drift and power fluctuations. We employ a unique magnetic damping technique to minimize frequency jitter and drift. The included TLB-6800-LN tunable laser delivers high current with very low noise. Based on all these combined technologies, we can guarantee that we can measure very narrow linewidths of less than 200 kHz in less than 50 ms.

Star-Flex Startup
The Vortex Plus is New Focus' most stable laser, utilizing the same Star-Flex startup introduced in the popular Vortex II laser.The Star-Flex is designed for motion startup, with no other startup options. Our Star-Flex design utilizes thermal and finite element analysis to achieve rigid, repeatable rotational motion without any translation. Patent-pending magnetic damping technology further reduces jitter and minimizes frequency fluctuations and drift.
