- For a single wavelength (515 nm) picosecond output, refer to SHBC.
- Expressed as normalized root mean squared deviation (NRMSD).
- Direct SHBC output, not simultaneous to OPA; see more details in SHBC specifications.
- Specified as a percentage of pump pulse energy.
- Compressed pump output.
- The pump laser is first paired with the SHBC module, then the SHBC output is used to pump the OPA. The parameter requirements are for the pump laser.
- Not compatible with PHAROS-UP.
- Specifications are guaranteed for a maximum temperature variation of ± 1 o C and humidity variation of ± 10%.
