Newly designed OPO-X OPOs for Ti:Sapphire Lasers picosecond and femtosecond OPOs from APE, with fully automated control for key applications such as coherent Raman spectroscopy (CARS and SRS), multiphoton microscopy, quantum dot excitation and transient absorption microscopy (TAM).
OPO-X is a synchronously pumped widely tunable optical parametric oscillator (OPO) for fs or ps Ti:Sapphire laser pumping, covering the wavelength range from 505 … 4000 nm. It is fully automated, i.e. software controlled tuning over the full specified wavelength range. This is made possible by its new control electronics, internal diagnostics, and Control Software packaged conveniently in a new housing.
