Light Conversion

LIGHT CONVERSION has worldwide recognition for its industrial-grade Yb-based PHAROS, CARBIDE, and FLINT femtosecond lasers.

• The PHAROS series focuses on customizability, reliability, and process-tailored output parameters, providing pulse durations down to 100 fs and pulse energies up to 4 mJ.
• The CARBIDE series features a compact industrial design with both air- and water-cooled models, the latter reaching 120 W of output power for the fundamental wavelength and 50 W for UV radiation, while sustaining excellent output stability.
• The FLINT oscillators extend the parameter range with repetition rates of up to 100 MHz.

Together, these products cover a wide range of scientific, industrial, and medical applications.

ORPHEUS-MIR is an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) optimized for the efficient generation of broad-bandwidth MIR pulses. The laser system provides ultrashort pulses in the tuning range of 2.5 – 10 μm and reaches up to 15 μm with a narrow-bandwidth extension. Due to the novel system design, ORPHEUS-MIR provides < 100 fs pulses directly at the output. Signal and idler outputs are available simultaneously. The system architecture is well suited for high-energy and high‑power PHAROS and CARBIDE femtosecond pump lasers. ORPHEUS-MIR serves as an excellent high-repetition-rate source for spectroscopy, such as two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) and vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. Combined with the narrow-bandwidth output of SHBC, it forms a compact laser system for SFG measurements, covering most of the MIR spectrum in a single shot and providing high spectral resolution. In addition, its high output stability is the key to fast and high-quality SFG imaging. Furthermore, for MIR applications requiring CEP-stable pulses, ORPHEUS-MIR provides a unique CEP-stable option in the complete 2500 – 15000 nm range.

The highlight of our tunable wavelength sources is the ORPHEUS series of femtosecond optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) for pumping with Yb-doped lasers. The ORPHEUS series enables operation at high repetition rates while maintaining the best properties of the TOPAS series OPAs, such as a wide tuning range from deep-UV to mid-IR and high output stability. When combined with the PHAROS or CARBIDE femtosecond lasers, it becomes an invaluable source for ultrafast spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and a variety of other applications. The list of tunable wavelength sources has been extended by the addition of I-OPA, a compact industrial-grade OPA, and CRONUS-3P, an OPA-based ultrafast source with GDD control for advanced nonlinear microscopy.

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.

The HARPIA spectroscopy systems perform a variety of sophisticated time-resolved measurements in a compact footprint. The HARPIA-TA is a transient absorption spectroscopy system extendable with time-resolved fluorescence, microscopy, and other modules. The HARPIA-TG is a novel transient grating system for carrier diffusion and lifetime measurements. For a single-supplier solution, the HARPIA systems are combined with a PHAROS or a CARBIDE laser together with ORPHEUS series or I-OPA series of OPAs.
