ORPHEUS-ONE is a mid-IR collinear optical parametric amplifier (OPA) designed for a spectral range from 1400 to 16000 nm. While it offers fewer wavelength extension options compared to ORPHEUS-HP, it achieves higher pump laser conversion efficiency into the mid-IR range.

ORPHEUS-ONE mid-IR collinear OPA provides the same tuning range, reliability, and ease of use but differs in design automation and pump parameters:

ORPHEUS-ONE-HP: Handles up to 80 W of pump power.
ORPHEUS-ONE-HE: Also supports up to 80 W of pump power but delivers pulse energy of up to 2 mJ.

The spectral bandwidth of ORPHEUS-ONE output is determined by the pump laser pulses. For applications like sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy and other uses requiring broadband infrared pulses, consider ORPHEUS-MIR. For a compact, single-box solution, refer to I-OPA industrial-grade optical parametric amplifier. For an OPA compatible with the PHAROS-UP ultrashort-pulse laser, refer to ORPHEUS-NEO next-generation OPA.
