Our new Tapered Amp is amazing! We got it working this morning! 2.3 W. I am sure there is more power with a little tweaking. It is nice to know we are in business though.

Beautiful TA on our messy optics table.

Next thing is try out our pulsing laser. Hopefully that works according to specs.

What I really find amazing is how easy it is to get working. To make from scratch this would take a year or more at Adelphi. Buy it from Toptica and it is plug and play.
