Where to Buy Optical Parametric Amplifiers

Following the success of the Starzz series of high-flux OPCPA systems, Fastlite is proud to introduce the twin Starzz, the new generation of Yb-pumped OPAs for spectroscopists. With its innovative and ultra-stable design compatible with a wide range of Ytterbium pump lasers, the twin Starzz delivers the shortest tunable pulses from UV to MIR with an unprecedented simplicity.

Optical Parametric Amplifiers made by Light Conversion set the industry standard for more than 25 years. TOPAS series devices pumped by Ti:Sapphire lasers and ORPHEUS series pumped by Ytterbium based solid state or fiber lasers are capable of producing 190 nm to 20 µm tunable wavelength output, are reliable and simple to use, while still flexible for custom and most demanding applications. Input and output parameters can be chosen in widest range possible in the market. With our standard products, it is possible to combine both – short pulse and narrow bandwidth – optically synchronized pulses. Light Conversion can deliver complete spectroscopic laser systems with high temporal or spectral resolution using multi-beam setups.

AVUS is the very latest Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA) providing widely tunable high-energy pulses. It is ideal for use with 1-μm femtosecond lasers and opens doors for up to 50 W pump power. The user-friendly and maintenance-free unit is air-cooled and constructed with a monolithic case design for long-term thermal stability, even at maximum pump power. Versions with pulse durations <200 fs or alternatively <70 fs are available.
