ORPHEUS-TWINS consists of two independently tunable optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) integrated into a single, compact housing. The OPAs are optically synchronized and provide simultaneous outputs. Sharing the same white-light seed, both OPAs enable the generation of broadband mid-infrared (MIR) radiation with a passively stable carrier-envelope phase (CEP).
Each OPA in the ORPHEUS-TWINS system can be configured separately as an ORPHEUS, ORPHEUS-F, or ORPHEUS-ONE, allowing flexible customization to meet specific experimental requirements. Refer to the respective models for detailed specifications.
For a high-repetition-rate (77 MHz) dual-output source, consider CRONUS-2P.
