Orpheus-MIR - Broadband Mid-IR Collinear Optical Parametric Amplifier

Orpheus-MIR is a collinear optical parametric amplifier pumped by femtosecond laser like Pharos or Carbide. Compared to the Orpheus-ONE, this system is optimized for generation of broadband mid-IR pulses. Orpheus-MIR stands out by its high output stability through the entire tuning range from 2500 to 11000 nm. The tuning range can be extended to 15000 nm. The compact design, excellent beam parameters and computer-controlled tuning are further advantages of this series.

Description 

Features

  • Broad bandwidth up to 500 cm-1
  • Broad tuning range 2500 nm – 11000 nm
  • Short pulse duration <100 fs
  • Up to 80 W pump power, up to 2 mJ pump energy
  • Optional narrowband extension up to 15000 nm

Applications

  • Broadband vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy
  • Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES)
  • Two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy
  • High-harmonic generation (HHG) in solids
  • Other infrared spectroscopy and strong-field physics applications

ORPHEUS-MIR is a versatile system optimized for the efficient generation of broadband mid-IR pulses. In general, it is a two-channel optical parametric amplifier (OPA), followed by a difference frequency generation (DFG) stage. The system provides broadband pulses in the tuning range of 2.5 – 11 μm and reaches up to 15 μm with optional narrowband extension. Signal and Idler outputs are available simultaneously, but they are a Signal-Idler pair; thus, their wavelengths are linked. The system architecture is well-suited for high energy and high power PHAROS and CARBIDE lasers.
