High power Ytterbium pumped femtosecond Optical Parametric Oscillator

Applications

The potential application areas of OPOs are very diverse.

Some examples are:

• Multiphoton excitation,
• Terahertz imaging,
• Confocal microscopy,
• Atomic and molecular spectroscopy.

Description

• Our Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) pumped is based on fan poled OPO crystal pumped by a self-mode locked Yb:Fiber laser.
• It makes it possible to deliver sub-100 fs pulses which duration is limited by the spectrum.
• The central wavelength of the pulses is tunable from 1.3 µm to 1.95 µm and the average power is up to 2 W.
• The typical M2 is better than 1.2 and the repetition rate, typically in between 40 MHz and 100 MHz, is locked to pump laser.
• An easier option is available and makes it possible to cover the spectral ranging from 2.2 µm to 5 µm.

Benefits

• Sub 100 fs pulses,
• Cover the spectral ranging from 2.2 µm to 5 µm
• high average power (up tio 2W),
• fully automated,
• low-cost system
