Optical amplifier Spirit-OPA®

measuringultra-rapidparametric

The Spirit-OPA® A is an automated collinear optical parametric amplifier (OPA) specifically built and optimized for the Spirit® ultrafast laser. The turn-key, high repetition rate Spirit femtosecond laser combines with the widely tunable Spirit-OPA optical parametric amplifier to create a powerful, user-friendly tunable source for high repetition rate ultrafast spectroscopy. • Built and optimized for Spirit ultrafast laser • Computer controlled operation • Ultra-wide gap-free wavelength coverage from UV to mid IR • Access to SHG with high efficiency • Single molecules studies • Nanomaterials science • Ultrafast surface dynamics • Multi-dimensional spectroscopy Built-in Second Harmonic Generator The Spirit-OPA includes a built-in second harmonic generator to convert the Spirit IR output into a 520 nm pump beam for the OPA, which then generates signal and idler in the redinfrared range (620–2700 nm). To further enhance its wavelength tuning capabilities, the OPA can be equipped with an optional harmonics. The result is straightforward access to a broad, gap-free wavelength range from UV to the mid IR (210 nm – 16 μm). Factory Optimized Pump Pulse Energies The Spirit-OPA can be factory optimized for a wide range of pump pulse energies (up to 120 μJ). This versatility allows for multiple configurations such as pumping a single OPA for maximum output energy or simultaneously pumping two or more OPAs for multibeam, multi-color time resolved experiments. The Spirit-OPA-30 is optimized for high power application and can be pumped with up to 30 W.
