Ti:sapphire optical parametric oscillator Oria® IR

femtosecond

A sealed, hands-free and fully-automated femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that offers class-leading wavelength coverage with high average power in the near- and mid-IR. Compatible with standard femtosecond MHz repetition rate Ti:sapphire oscillators, the Oria® IR is an ideal tool for nonlinear microscopy applications where short pulse durations, high beam pointing and high power stability are required in the IR. The Oria® IR is a femtosecond OPO, pumped by a mode-locked femtosecond Ti:sapphire oscillator, which offers broad tunability in the near- and mid-IR. Independent tuning of the pump wavelength across 720-810 nm, and the signal wavelength across 1000-1580 nm, is provided through the two separate pump and signal output ports available in this OPO. The user can easily select amongst accessing: (i) 100% of the pump through the pump output port, with no signal through the signal port, (ii) a percentage of the pump through the pump output port, with partial signal through the signal output port, or (iii) 0% of the pump through the pump output port, with full signal through the signal output port. As a sealed system, the Oria® IR does not provide user access to the internal cavity. Absolutely hands-free operation is guaranteed, with manual alignment of the OPO neither possible nor required. Tuning across the range can be readily achieved within a few seconds, by controlling the system exclusively via a simple and dedicated PC-user-interface.
