ORPHEUS-MIR is an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) optimized for the efficient generation of broad-bandwidth MIR pulses. The laser system provides broadband pulses in the tuning range of 2.5 – 10 μm and reaches up to 15 μm with a narrow-bandwidth extension. Due to the novel system design, ORPHEUS-MIR provides < 100 fs pulses directly at the output. Signal and Idler outputs are available simultaneously. The system architecture is well-suited for high-energy and high-power PHAROS and CARBIDE femtosecond pump lasers.
ORPHEUS-MIR serves as an excellent high-repetition-rate source for infrared spectroscopy such as broadband vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. Combined with a narrow-bandwidth output of SHBC, it forms a compact laser system for SFG measurements, covering most of the MIR spectrum while also providing high spectral resolution. Furthermore, its high output stability is the key to fast and high-quality SFG imaging.
