Mid-IR tunable broadband light source

Ultrafast broad spectral femtosecond Mid-IR light source


Introduction

The Mid-IR tunable broadband light source is fully automated and designed to be highly customizable to deliver turn-key solutions meeting your specific needs. It is based on a 1 µm pump laser operating at 76 MHz, which drives an optical parametric oscillator (OPO, Levante IR fs).

The OPO generates Signal and Idler in the range of 1.32 µm to 4.8 µm. Both beams can be mixed in a Difference Frequency Generator (DFG, HarmoniXX DFG), providing access to wavelengths up to 15 µm. Moreover, such a light source can be extended with additional APE devices, such as wavelength converters, pulse pickers or pulse slicers, to further enhance its capabilities in terms of wavelength range, repetition rate adjustment or spectral bandwidth narrowing.

Thanks to many years of experience we understand what customers from different scientific fields need to advance their research. The best proven technology combined with an intrinsic drive for innovations and the openness to discuss with worldwide customers about their application makes APE your expert in the field of light sources. Please share your requirements with us, and our expert team will work diligently to assemble a light source tailored to your application.

Example setup of a Mid-IR tunable broadband light source (1.32 µm ... 15 µm)

Levante IR fs:

The Levante IR fs is an innovative synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO). It is powered by a mode-locked femtosecond laser that emits at a fixed 1 µm wavelength. The OPO uses a parametric process to generate Signal and Idler pulses, which are synchronized with each other and with the pump pulse, without any jitter. This design ensures precise and reliable operation for a range of applications.

Key features:

  • Complete PC control and automated wavelength tuning
  • Synchronized output pulses for precise performance
  • Standard software interface using TCP/IP for seamleass integration
  • Integrated spectrometer for precise wavelength analysis for OPO Signal range

HarmoniXX DFG:

HarmoniXX DFG is a versatile wavelength converter that expands APE´s product line into the mid-infrared range. This cutting-edge device combines the Signal and Idler beams of Levante IR fs OPO. By tuning the OPO wavelengths users can easily adjust the output wavelength of the DFG. This enables a broad wavelength range of 5 µm to over 15 µm, making the HarmoniXX DFG a highly flexible tool for a variety of applications.

Key features:

  • Direct compatible with Levante IR fs
  • Automated wavelength tuning for easy customization
  • Integrated spatial beam overlap for optimal beam quality
  • Delay line integrated for temporal overlap optimization
  • Connection for purge to ensure stable performance
