Orpheus-VIS - Ultrashort-Pulse VIS Optical Parametric Amplifier

Orpheus-VIS provides extremely short pulses down to <50 fs in visible tuning range from 320 to 900 nm with optional extension to UV down to 250 nm. This newly developed OPA completes the product portfolio of tunable light sources for applications that require very short pulses. The often used Orpheus-F with pulse durations down to <25 fs is optimized for NIR range. In comparison to this OPA, Orpheus-VIS excels in VIS to UV.

Description 

Features

  • Ultrashort UV - VIS - NIR output
  • <50 fs pulse duration at 500 nm
  • Up to 100 kHz repetition rate
  • Up to 20 W, 1 mJ pump
  • Optional UV extension down to 250 nm

ORPHEUS-VIS is an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) optimized for the generation of high-energy short-pulse VIS output. The laser system provides ultrashort pulses in the tuning range of 450 – 600 nm or 320 – 900 nm, depending on the chosen configuration, and reaches down to 250 nm with optional UV extension. The ORPHEUS-VIS system can be coupled with PHAROS or CARBIDE femtosecond pump lasers and can be pumped with up to 20 W average power and 1 mJ energy pulses, thus capable of providing up to tens of microjoules in VIS and microjoule-level output in UV.

ORPHEUS-VIS serves as an excellent high-repetition-rate source for ultrafast spectroscopy such as two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES), time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and many other applications in the visible spectral range.
