Time-Bandwidth Products pioneered the development of high pulse repetition rate, fundamentally modelocked lasers based on Er:Yb glass material. The result is the ERGO-XG laser, which has demonstrated superior performance for many years in leading laboratories across the world. Telecomm applications where the ERGO can play a critical role include ultrahigh speed transmission systems (100s of Gb or Tb / second), optical clocking, multiwavelength source, continuum generation, and frequency metrology, to name a few.
