Elevate your research with the Ascend™ series pump lasers from Spectra-Physics®. Ascend is an industrial diode-pumped solid state, Q-switched laser capable of more than 60 W at 527 nm. Ascend delivers optimal performance for pumping the Spectra-Physics Spitfire® Ace™, Solstice® Ace, and Femtopower™ series amplifiers. Ascend yields the most efficient amplifiers commercially available, delivering industry-leading output power and energy, beam quality and reliability.

Ascend utilizes a proprietary architecture which produces less heat and an improved cooling scheme to provide maximum stability. When pumping a Spectra-Physics amplifier, Ascend delivers optimal green-to-IR conversion due to the excellent beam quality. The end result is maximum efficiency, low noise, and unmatched reliability, making Ascend the highest performing amplifier pump laser available.

Flexible performance means you can design experiments anywhere in the 1 to 10 kHz repetition rate range. Ascend configurations can be changed to maximize the utility of your amplifier system. Ascend is available with several output power levels for specific amplifier system configurations and requirements.

Ascend continues Spectra-Physics’ long-standing commitment to producing the highest performing, most reliable diode-pumped solid state lasers. Ascend combines industrial reliability and ruggedness with leading-edge performance to maximize the performance of your Spectra-Physics ultrafast amplifier.
