Where to Buy Optical Parametric Amplifiers

The twin Starzz is 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.

For researchers demanding a wide tuning range, high conversion efficiency and narrow line-width, EKSPLA optical parametric oscillators/amplifiers are an excellent choice. All models feature hands-free wavelength tuning, a protection system for valuable optical components as well as a wide range of accessories and extension units.

EKSPLA's long-term experience and close cooperation with scientific institutions made it possible to create a range of models, offering probably the widest tuning range: from 193 nm to 16000 nm. Versions offering near transform-limited linewidth as well as operating at kilohertz repetition rates are available.

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.

Find harmony in four perfectly synchronised and precisely tunable wavelength outputs produced by the Fluence Harmony Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA).

Fluence Harmony is a device that precisely converts ultrafast pulses of one band (e.g. 1030-nm pulses coming from Fluence Jasper) into a set of pulsed laser beams tunable in an extremely broad spectrum of wavelengths, ranging from 210 nm up to 2600 nm. All automated, all software-controlled.

A growing number of ultrafast spectroscopy techniques has prompted the need for a robust and reliable, self-diagnostic device like Harmony. The optical parametric amplifier is fully compatible with all femtosecond lasers and provides automated tuning across the basic tuning range.

Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) made by Light Conversion set the industry standard for more than 25 years. The TOPAS series devices pumped with Ti:sapphire lasers and ORPHEUS series pumped by ytterbium-based solid-state or fiber lasers are capable of producing 190 nm to 20 μm!

ORPHEUS maintains the best properties of TOPAS series OPAs:

- high output stability in the entire tuning range

- high output beam quality and full computer control

- optional frequency mixers to extend the tuning range from UV up to mid IR ranges

Light Conversion’s OPAs are reliable and simple to use, while still flexible for custom and most demanding applications. Input and output parameters can be chosen in the widest range possible in the market. Using such OPAs, Light Conversion delivers complete spectroscopic laser systems. Femtosecond pulses and high power tunable output together with flexible multi kilohertz repetition rate make the tandem of ORPHEUS and PHAROS or CARBIDE lasers an invaluable tool for multiphoton microscopy, micro structuring, and spectroscopy applications.
