Product information "17OPO-1-50 S MID-IR (1700 nm) Tunable OPO Source"
1700-1750 nm; Output Energy ≤50 µJ; Repetition Rate ≤10 kHz; Pulse Width 2-5 ns; Pump Laser and OPO in Single Rugged Housing
Our 170P0-1-50-S MID-IR tunable OPO (optical parametric oscillator) source combines pump laser and OPO in a single, rugged housing and generates laser pulses in the mid-infrared (MID-IR) range around 1700 nm – the applications for such wavelengths are mainly in the field of photoacoustic imaging, in addition to gas chromatography and other analysis tasks.
The OPO’s wavelength can be tuned in an extended range from 1700 nm to 1750 nm. Other wavelength ranges (e.g. 1500 nm to 2000 nm) are available on demand. Using an electro-optical Q-switch, very short pulses with typical pulse widths of 2 ns to 5 ns are generated.
If different wavelengths, repetition rates, pulse energies or pulse widths is what you are looking for, the laser experts at Elforlight (an AMS Company) are happy to specify, design and manufacture your customized OPO solution. Get in touch with us now to discuss your project’s requirements!
