Products
Product category | Description |
---|---|
crystal ovens |
Our range of PPLN ovens are specifically designed to provide robust thermal management of PPLN crystals. All of our crystals are supplied clip-mounted, ready for use in our ovens. The clips are easily positioned into the oven using the auto-locating pins, allowing the PPLN clips to be swapped with minimal realignment of the optical train. Finely sprung pins in the oven lid hold the PPLN crystal clip securely in place. The oven and PPLN crystal can then be mounted in any orientation, flexible to your choice of optical arrangement. We also offer temperature controllers for use with our crystal ovens. |
frequency doubling devices |
Frequency doubling/SHG crystals: Covesion has SHG crystals and waveguides held in stock that can be dispatched promptly to meet your application requirements. Our team of industry-leading experts are on hand to assist in the fulfilment of more specific user requirements using our custom manufacturing capability. Stock MgO:PPLN SHG crystals and waveguides are available for a wide range of common pump laser wavelengths from 976 nm to 3300 nm, allowing generation of light between 488 nm and 1650 nm. All stock crystals come ready clip-mounted for seamless and straightforward integration into our crystal ovens. The addition of MgO:PPLN waveguides to the Covesion product range allows end users to exploit greater conversion efficiencies and save on unnecessary pump sources within their applications. Waveguides are available as standalone chips or as robust, ruggedized packages with APC fiber connectors. |
frequency tripling devices |
Covesion has SFG crystals held in stock that can be dispatched to promptly meet your application requirements. Our team of industry-leading experts are also on hand to assist in the fulfilment of more specific user requirements using our customer manufacturing capability. We offer magnesium-doped PPLN for Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) for cascaded THG from a 1550-nm SHG crystal, or from a fixed 1550-nm laser and a tunable Ti:sapphire (or similar) laser for tunable green generation. Stock MgO:PPLN SFG crystals are available for generation between 500 nm and 660 nm. All stock crystals come ready clip-mounted for seamless and straightforward integration into our crystal ovens. |
nonlinear crystal materials |
Periodically poled lithium niobate: magnesium-doped PPLN is ideal for innovative laser applications due to its high effective nonlinear coefficient; allowing for high efficiency frequency conversion across multiple different mechanisms. Covesion is a world leader in the design and manufacture of periodically poled lithium niobate for non-linear frequency conversion. MgO:PPLN crystals are available for high efficiency SHG, DFG, SFG and OPO interactions. Wavelength generation coverage runs from visible to mid-IR. Periodic poling allows for quasi phase matching, which maintains phase relation of the photons throughout the crystal where they would otherwise fall out of phase. This engineered effect leads to a much higher conversion efficiency than would be found in the regular crystal. Readily available stock crystals and waveguides can be provided on short timescales to rapidly meet your application needs, providing the capability to generate laser light in a wide range of wavelengths.
