ORPHEUS-NEO is the next-generation optical parametric amplifier. With its simple-to-use and hassle-free design, ORPHEUS-NEO emerges as an invaluable tool in even the most demanding scientific applications.

The ORPHEUS-NEO is available in several different configurations providing high-power UV – MIR (210 – 16000 nm). Furthermore, ORPHEUS-NEO can be pumped by sub-100 fs PHAROS-UP, see ORPHEUS-NEO-UP and ORPHEUS-NEO-ONE-UP. Thanks to its robust industrial design, all configurations ensure remarkable long‑term stability. Most importantly, the device is equipped with multiple detectors for pump beam position tracking and continuous monitoring of output parameters. This results in the fastest remote diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Inspired by the most demanding users, ORPHEUS-NEO has been engineered to become the most stable and versatile tool in ultrafast spectroscopy, and many other scientific applications.
