Where to Buy Optical Parametric Oscillators

APE offers a wide range of ultrafast optical parametric oscillators (OPOs), which can be pumped with 1-μm lasers or with Ti:sapphire lasers. Wide wavelength regions in the near and mid-IR can be addressed, pulse durations in the picosecond or femtosecond region are available, and pulse repetition rates can be in the megahertz or gigahertz region.

APE optical parametric oscillator systems are enabling next generation work in solar cells, cancer research, biomedicine, surgical procedures, molecular science, and more.

HC Photonics (HCP) offers a wide range of solutions for optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) including commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and custom PPMgO:LN based devices.

PPLN bare crystals are excellent devices (i.e. >90% conversion efficiency) for all-kind pumped OPOs i.e. cw, ns, fs and ps.

PPLN cavity mixers such as IC-OPOs have options of either fixed or broadly tunable wavelengths between 1420 nm and 4100 nm. They are the most compact and easy-to-use OPO devices in the market.

The Stuttgart Instruments Alpha system is a modular, wavelength-tunable laser covering the 700 nm to 20 µm spectral range. It provides ultrafast pulses at MHz repetition rates and milliwatt- to watt-level power. Due to its excellent passive long-term stability, outstanding performance at the shot-noise limit and broad spectral range, it is ideally suited for sensitive IR applications.

The Alpha system can be configured optimum for your application. Its basic version is tunable from 1.35 µm to 4.5 µm, but can be upgraded to higher power, to the VIS (700 – 980 nm), the NIR (1.1 – 1.4 µm) and the MIR range (4.5 – 20 µm). Each module is field upgradable, and the entire system is fully automated and controlled via a user-friendly GUI.

A broad range of Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPOs) are manufactured by Radiantis. Covering the spectral range across the UV, visible and IR, Radiantis products operate in the picosecond, femtosecond and continuous-wave (CW) regimes.

GWU-Lasertechnik is the pioneer of commercial BBO-OPOs. We introduced the first device worldwide in 1989! More than 30 years of experience in lasers, nonlinear optics and manufacturing condenses in matured, highly reliable devices. Our widely tunable pulsed laser sources cover the spectral range from the deep-UV at <190 nm to the IR at >2700 nm continuously. The scanSeries nanosecond OPO product line offers scalable pulse energy at various repetition rates. As a unique feature, GWU can provide high-speed wavelength scanning across the complete wavelength range with shot-to-shot dynamic. Our all-solid-state laser design ensures maximum reliability for diode-pumped and flash-lamp pumped lasers with excellent performance and longest lifetime.
