Menlo Systems ELMO Quick Start Manual

ELMO
Femtosecond Fiber Seed Laser 1560 nm
Menlo Systems' fiber-based femtosecond laser sources integrate the latest
achievements in fiber technology into easy-to-use products. Menlo Systems'
unique figure 9 mode locking technology results in reproducible and long-term
®
stable operation. The ELMO with its all-fiber design guarantees excellent stabil-
ity and low-noise operation. As seed source for fiber amplifiers the oscillator is
maintenance free, user installed and ready to use at the press of a single button.
In short: An OEM laser engineered for 24/7 operation.
