Mid-IR Widely Tunable OPO Source

1.4-12 µm; Output Power 20-850 mW; Repetition Frequency 100, 200 MHz; Pulse Duration 1-5 ps; Beam Diameter 1-6 mm Chromacity has developed a range of tunable laser sources which span the short to long IR wavelength regions. The Chromacity Auskerry (formerly the Near-IR OPO) is Chromacity’s flagship tunable optical parametric oscillator (OPO) which generates light across 1.4 µm – 4.2 µm (7150 cm-1– 2400 cm-1). The Chromacity Auskerry tunable laser source can be integrated into an FTIR spectrometer, providing the ability to interrogate multiple chemical signatures in real time (at a high resolution). It has a broad bandwidth across the 3µm-3.5µm to quantify gases such as of methane, ethane and benzene in a single measurement with resolutions of 0.05cm-1. The high powers of the Chromacity Auskerry have demonstrated open-path stand-off detection measurements beyond 100m. The Chromacity Haskeir (formerly the Mid-IR OPO) is powered by a new generation of non-linear crystals which generate broad bandwidth coherent light across the long wavelength regions between 4.5 µm and 12 µm (2200 cm-1 to 850 cm-1). Spectroscopy across the fingerprint regime provides that ability to characterize volatile organic compounds with complex chemical signatures, and the high brightness of the Chromacity Haskeir OPO across 4.5 to 12µm can be used in a number of these set-ups. It can also be used to characterize and differentiate between compounds, such as VX and Sarin, as well as pharmaceutical powders such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Both picosecond OPOs deliver high power, broad band coherent light and are optically pumped by Chromacity’s high-power Chromacity 1040 femtosecond laser, which is fully integrated into the optical head to maximize stability and reduce the overall system footprint. Fiber delivery capability reinforces the inherent stability of Chromacity’s OPO systems and seamless OEM integration for industrial applications. Chromacity is the first laser manufacturer to remotely install ultrafast OPOs. Patent protected manufacturing and design processes have driven Chromacity to build truly robust and affordable OPO systems with drop-ship capability and plug & play functionality. With a wealth of expertise in optical parametric oscillator technology, non-linear optics and optical fiber delivery, the Chromacity team are able to consider a wide range of options to help meet your requirements.

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!
