NT370 series tunable laser seamlessly integrates in a compact housing the nanosecond optical parametric oscillator and Nd:YAG Q-switched laser. Pumped by fundamental harmonic output the lasers provides tuning in mid- and far-infrared spectral range.
NT373-XIR model uses IR crystal based cascade OPO for tunable output in 4400– 18000 nm range. Customized tuning ranges are available by request. The linewidth of NT373-XIR model is nearly constant across tuning range and it is less than 8 cm⁻¹.
NT377 model produces tunable output in 2500–4400 nm range. Pulse energy is exceeding 10 mJ for wavelengths shorter than 3600 nm, while linewidth is below 10 cm⁻¹ for the wavelengths longer than 3000 nm.Because of narrow linewidth of output radiation (typically in 6– 10 cm⁻¹ range) the laser is suitable for many infrared spectroscopic applications, for example cavity ring-down spectroscopy, gas detection and remote sensing.
The device is controlled from the remote keypad or from PC through RS232 interface using LabVIEW™ drivers that are supplied together with the system. The remote pad features a backlit display that is easy to read even while wearing laser safety glasses.
System is designed for easy and cost-effective maintenance. Replacement of flashlamps can be done without misalignment of the laser cavity and deterioration of laser performance. OPO pump energy monitoring system helps to increase lifetime of the optical components.

1) Due to continuous improvement, all specifications are subject to change without notice. Parameters marked typical are not specifications. They are indications of typical performance and will vary with each unit we manufacture. Unless stated otherwise all specifications are measured at 3000 nm for NT377 unit and at 7000 nm for NT373-XIR units and for basic system without options.
2) Please contact Ekspla for more detailed specifications.
3) Output is specified at wavelengths defined in note 1. See tuning curves for typical outputs at other wavelengths.
4) Linewidth is specified at wavelengths defined in note 1. See graph below for typical linewidth at other wavelengths.
5) Estimate, assuming that pulse duration from OPO is by approx 1 ns shorter than one from pump laser.
6) Beam diameter is measured at the FWHM level at the output aperture and can vary depending on the pump pulse energy.
7) Laser output will be optimized for OPO operation and specification may vary with each unit we manufacture.
8) Air cooled power supply is available as option.
9) For 10 Hz PRR.
10) Should be specified when ordering.
PERFORMANCE
Note: Laser must be connected to the mains electricity all the time. If there will be no mains electricity for longer that 1 hour then laser (system) needs warm up for a few hours before switching on.
