Buying Optical Parametric Chirped-pulse Amplifiers

Top-level product category: icon nonlinear optics

More general product categories: optical parametric amplifiers, ultrafast amplifiers

Related product category: chirped-pulse amplifier systems

Optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) is employed for achieving very high output peak powers. Using suitable phase-matching schemes, these devices can work with ultrabroadband pulses and extremely short compressed pulse durations.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers

Optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) is currently the only laser technology that simultaneously provides the high peak and average power along with few-cycle pulse duration required by the most demanding scientific applications. Our portfolio of cutting edge OPCPA products is based on years of experience in developing and manufacturing optical parametric amplifiers and femtosecond lasers. The few-cycle, CEP-stable pulses come either in a compact table-top ORPHEUS-OPCPA or a large, TW-level OPCPA-HE, similar to SYLOS at ELI ALPS.

optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers

TOPTICA’s FemtoFiber dichro midIR generates radiation at 3 μm – 15 μm. Based on difference frequency generation of two optically synchronized laser pulses at tunable wavelengths of 1 – 2 μm a highly stable broadband emission of approximately 400 cm−1 is generated. Here, the output at 1560 nm of an erbium-doped ultrafast fiber laser is superimposed with the long or short wavelength part of a supercontinuum.

The CEO-free mid-IR laser pulses are applied to attosecond spectroscopy where the extreme UV pulses consist of only a few optical cycles. The conversion of mid-IR radiation to extreme UV is accomplished by high harmonic generation. First, the mid-IR pulses are subject to optical parametric chirped amplification (OPCPA). Then, the intense laser fields are launched into an atomic beam or a gas-filled hollow core fibre to generate extreme UV attosecond laser pulses via high harmonics.
