Light Conversion

The industrial-grade optical parametric amplifier I-OPA series marks a new era of simplicity in the world of tunable wavelength femtosecond light sources. Based on over 10 years of experience producing the ORPHEUS series of optical parametric amplifiers, this solution brings together the tunability of wavelength with the robust industrial-grade design. The I-OPA is a rugged module attachable to our PHAROS and CARBIDE lasers, providing long-term stability comparable to that of the industrial-grade harmonic generators.

CARBIDE is a series of femtosecond lasers combining high average power and excellent power stability. CARBIDE features market-leading output parameters without compromises to beam quality and stability. A compact and robust optomechanical CARBIDE design allows a variety of applications in top-class research centers, as well as display, automotive, LED, medical, and other industries. The reliability of CARBIDE has been proven by hundreds of systems operating 24/7 in the industrial environment.

ORPHEUS-MIR is an OPA optimized for the efficient generation of broad-bandwidth mid-IR pulses. The system provides broadband pulses in the tuning range of 2.5 – 10 μm and reaches up to 15 μm with an optional narrow-bandwidth extension. Due to the novel system design, ORPHEUS-MIR provides < 100 fs pulses directly at the output. Signal and Idler outputs are available simultaneously. The system architecture is well-suited for high energy and high power PHAROS and CARBIDE lasers.

Benefiting from the industrial-grade stability and reliability of the PHAROS and CARBIDE lasers, ORPHEUS-OPCPA delivers few-cycle, CEP-stable pulses in a package as compact as our standard parametric amplifiers. The different ORPHEUS‑OPCPA models all use the same base architecture to produce CEP-stable, few-cycle pulses in one of the four wavelength ranges. ORPHEUS-OPCPA is available in versions with pulse compressors for direct use in applications or in versions intended as seed sources, delivering background-free pulses with near-single-cycle bandwidths, excellent spectral phase coherence, and CEP stability.
