Where to Buy Optical Parametric Oscillators

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.

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.

For researchers demanding a wide tuning range, high conversion efficiency and narrow linewidth, 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.

Our long-term experience and close cooperation with scientific institutions made it possible to create a range of models, offering probably th 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.

TOPTICA provides a continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator system: The DLC TOPO emits broadly tunable, Watt-class output power between 1.45 μm and 4.0 μm. Fully motorized and driven by the digital laser driver DLC pro, it provides unprecedented ease of use.

TOPTICA's OPO laser system won the Prism Awards 2019 for scientific lasers at Photonics West!
