Light Conversion’s ORPHEUS Optical Parametric Amplifiers (OPAs). When paired with the PHAROS or CARBIDE lasers (i.e. pumped at 1030nm) the ORPHEUS provides tunable femtosecond or picosecond pulses from the UV right up to the mid-IR with superior output pulse stability, impressive output beam quality and by fully automated computer control.
The femtosecond wavelength-tunable sources are based on optical parametric amplification technology. Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) for Yb lasers enable operation at high repetition rates while maintaining the best properties of TOPAS series OPAs such as the wide tuning range from deep-UV to mid-IR and high output stability. Our OPAs are built in three different platforms to suit your specific needs:
•ORPHEUS represents the classic OPAs that many are used to. Just like TOPAS, it is quite simple yet offers an extensive range of parameters.
•ORPHEUS-NEO introduces the next generation of OPAs equipped with multiple detectors for continuous power monitoring and diagnostics.
•I-OPA is a compact OPA integrated on the laser and undergoes vibrational and thermal testing, making it the only commercial industrial-grade OPA.
Coupled with PHAROS or CARBIDE femtosecond laser, our OPAs make an invaluable source for ultrafast spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and a variety of other scientific applications. See the tables below for more details on the platforms, as well as selection guide for your next wavelength-tunable source based on the desired pulse duration and spectral range.
