Near- and Mid-IR Femtosecond OPO
A sealed, hands-free and fully-automated femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that offers class-leading wavelength coverage with high average power in the near- and mid-IR.
Compatible with standard femtosecond MHz repetition rate Ti:Sapphire oscillators, the ORIA IR is an ideal tool for nonlinear microscopy applications where short pulse durations, high beam pointing and high power stability are required in the IR.
Description
The ORIA IR is a femtosecond OPO, pumped by a mode-locked femtosecond Ti:Sapphire oscillator, which offers broad tunability in the near- and mid-IR. Independent tuning of the pump wavelength across 720 – 810 nm (12195 – 14084 cm-1), and the signal wavelength across 1000 – 1580 nm (6329 – 10000 cm-1), is provided through the two separate pump and signal output ports available in this OPO.
The user can easily select amongst accessing 100% of the pump through the pump output port, a percentage of the pump combined with the signal output, or the full signal output. Several ORIA IR models are available which provide different characteristics of spectral coverage, as detailed in the specification table.
