Menlo Systems ELMO User manual

Menlo Systems’ ber-based femtosecond laser sources integrate the latest
achievements in ber technology into easy-to-use products. Menlo Systems’
unique gure 9® mode locking technology results in reproducible and long-term
stable operation. The ELMO with its all-ber design guarantees excellent stabil-
ity and low-noise operation. As seed source for ber ampliers 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.
