Long-wave mid-infrared optical parametric amplifier

The FEMTO-IR femtosecond optical parametric amplifier (OPA) is based on a stable optical and mechanical design, enabling flexible and tunable femtosecond laser pulse output. Designed specifically for the mid-infrared (MIR) spectral range (wavelengths from 1350 to 16000 nm), it offers limited wavelength extension options but provides higher conversion efficiency from pump lasers to the MIR band.

The FEMTO-IR series shares the same tuning range, reliability, and ease of use, but differs slightly in design automation and pump parameters. The FEMTO-IR-HP supports pump powers up to 80 W, while the FEMTO-IR-HE accepts the same pump power and is compatible with single pulse energies up to 2 mJ.

The FEMTO-IR series of femtosecond optical parametric amplifiers is compatible with market-standard fiber and solid-state Yb ultrafast lasers, accepting pump energies from 10 μJ to 2 mJ and pulse widths from 100 fs to 1.5 ps. Customers do not need complicated manual adjustments and can accurately tune to the required center wavelength with one click. We can provide a full range of customized solutions based on customer needs.
