The industrial-grade optical parametric amplifier I-OPA series marks a new era of simplicity in the world of wavelength‑tunable femtosecond sources. Based on decades of experience with optical parametric amplifiers, this solution combines wavelength tunability with robust industrial design.
The I-OPA is a rugged module integrated into our PHAROS or CARBIDE lasers, providing stability comparable to that of industrial harmonic generators. The sealed design provides mechanical stability and eliminates the effects of air turbulence, minimizing energy fluctuations and ensuring stable long-term performance.
The tunable I-OPA provides a wide tuning range and is primarily intended for spectroscopy and microscopy applications. In particular, the -HP model is targeted to be coupled with our HARPIA spectroscopy system as a pump beam source for ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy. The -F model is primarily designed as a light source for multiphoton microscopy, the -ONE model – for IR spectroscopy, and other applications where high-energy MIR pulses are desired. All models can also be used for micromachining and other industrial applications. The fixed-wavelength I-OPA is a cost-effective solution when a single wavelength is desired.
- In case of fixed wavelength (FW), a single wavelength can be selected from the Signal or Idler range. Signal may have accessible Idler pair, and vice versa.
- I‑OPA‑F broad-bandwidth pulses are compressed externally. Typical pulse duration before compression: 120 – 250 fs, after compression: 25 – 70 fs @ 650 – 900 nm, 40 – 100 fs @ 1200 – 2000 nm.
- Output pulse duration depends on the selected wavelength and pump laser pulse duration.
- Expressed as NRMSD (normalized root mean squared deviation).
- Conversion efficiency is 1.2% at peak of SH package; specified as the percentage of pump power.
- Up to 16 µm tuning range is accessible with an external difference frequency generator.
- Specifications are guaranteed for a maximum temperature variation of ± 1 oC and humidity variation of ± 10%.
