The highlight of wavelength-tunable sources is the ORPHEUS series of femtosecond optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) for Yb lasers. ORPHEUS series enables operation at high repetition rates while maintaining the best properties of TOPAS series OPAs such as the wide tuning range from deep-UV to mid-IR and high output stability. Coupled with PHAROS or CARBIDE femtosecond laser, ORPHEUS makes an invaluable source for ultrafast spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and a variety of other scientific applications. The latest addition, ORPHEUS-NEO, is a next generation OPA with exceptional stability and is equipped with multiple detectors for pump beam position tracking and continuous monitoring of output parameters; thus, it is an invaluable tool for the most demanding applications.

The list of wavelength-tunable sources also includes I-OPA, a compact industrial-grade OPA, and CRONUS-3P, an OPA-based ultrafast source with GDD control for advanced nonlinear microscopy. For more information on the latter, refer to microscopy systems.
