1 Description
The Koheras BOOSTIK LC is a compact fiber amplifier module for low-noise, narrow-
linewidth Koheras seed lasers. The module is designed as a line card component of
a complete laser system. The module inserts into a Koheras ACOUSTIK 16-slot rack
shelf where it occupies two slots.
The ACOUSTIK shelf provides power and communications to the BOOSTIK LC
module and it also houses a seed laser such as a Koheras BASIK. The optical output
fiber of a Koheras BASIK seed laser connects to the optical input of a BOOSTIK LC
module where the light is amplified before exiting from its optical output fiber and
finally the standard FC/APC connector.
The amplifier module operates in the 1060-1075 nm or 1545-1565 nm wavelength
range. Depending on the variant, the amplifier is designed to extend the output
power of its seed laser to either 200 mW or 2 W output power. The amplifier
achieves this while preserving the seed laser’s ultra-low noise and narrow linewidth
optical output.
The rear panel of a BOOSTIK LC module includes an electrical connector. The
connector is designed to mate with an ACOUSTIK backplane connector when
inserted into the shelf. Using NKT Photonics CONTROL software, all inserted
modules in the shelf are controlled from a single ACOUSTIK interface through either
USB or Ethernet connectivity.

Note:
A BOOSTIK LC module can also be implemented as a component in custom la-
ser systems. For these applications, NKT Photonics’ SDK is available to integrate the
module with the system control platform.
