Chromacity OPO

Chromacity OPO

The Chromacity OPO provides high power, broad bandwidth

and picosecond pulsed light which can be generated across

the near and mid infrared. This means the laser is ideal for a

wide range of applications including: stand-off detection, IR

spectroscopy, FTIR techniques, chemical and breath

analysis.

We also have a prototype high brightness mid-IR OPO that

can access the molecular fingerprint region, where chemical

signatures can be uniquely identified or ‘fingerprinted’.

OPO Technical Benefits

Ultrashort Pulse

Generates strong non-linear / quantum effects in a wide range of

integrated circuits.

Long-term Stability

Pump source is fully integrated into the OPO module thus

eliminating the need for end-user alignment of input pump beam.

Improved reliability for repeat experiments.

High Power

High signal-to-noise ratio for spectroscopy experiments.

Reduces requirement for high end detection systems, especially

over long open-air paths.

Ideal Wavelength

Near-IR OPO spans wavelengths that can be used to identify

hydrocarbons & also covers telecoms wavelengths (and

beyond).

Mid-IR OPO spans the fingerprint regime which can be used to

identify volatile organic compounds.

1040 Technical Benefits

Ultrashort Pulse

Combined with high average power and good beam quality

ensures the highest intensities can be reached.

Key for driving non-linear effects such as 3-dimensional

multiphoton imaging.

Can be adjusted to meet customer needs.

Long-term Stability

Chromacity 1040 has been custom designed onto a temperature-

controlled baseplate ensuring a reliable and stable output.

High Average Power

High power system adds flexibility to run several experiments

whilst maintaining a good signal to noise ratio.

Reduces requirement for high end detection systems.

Ideal Wavelength

Longer wavelength than Ti:S lasers allows greater depth

penetration of samples, and detection of multiple fluorescent

markers.

Ideal for various SHG imaging techniques.
