AVUS Optical Parametric Amplifier
High-Power OPA
AVUS Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA) Provides Widely Tunable High-Energy Pulses.
Overview
Laser light with variable wavelengths are available via optical parametric amplifiers. The AVUS Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA) provides widely tunable high-energy pulses. It is ideal for use with 1 μm femtosecond lasers and opens doors for up to 50 W pump power. The user-friendly and maintenance-free unit is air-cooled and constructed with a monolithic case design for long-term thermal stability, even at maximum pump power.
At a Glance
OPA for 1 μm pump laser
< 200 fs and < 70 fs versions available
50 W maximum pumping power
Air-cooling and monolithic case for long-term temperature stability
Completely automated and fully computer controlled
Long-life operation with sealed inner case to protect sensitive components
TCP/IP remote control with standardized command set for easy programming
24/7 integrated performance monitoring of both laser system and AVUS
AVUS SP | 70 fs
The fully-automated and alignment-free unit provides pulse durations below 70 femtoseconds. A short-pulse compression unit provides full dispersion control. Therefore AVUS SP is ideally suited for Multi-Photon Microscopy.
OPA for 1 μm pump laser
