ORPHEUS-VIS is an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) optimized for the generation of high-energy short-pulse VIS output. The laser system provides ultrashort pulses in the tuning range of 450 – 600 nm or 320 – 900 nm, depending on the chosen configuration, and reaches down to 250 nm with optional UV extension. The ORPHEUS-VIS system can be coupled with PHAROS or CARBIDE femtosecond pump lasers and can be pumped with up to 20 W average power and 1 mJ energy pulses, thus capable of providing up to tens of microjoules in VIS and microjoule-level output in UV.

ORPHEUS-VIS serves as an excellent high-repetition-rate source for ultrafast spectroscopy such as two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES), time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and many other applications in the visible spectral range.
