HarmoniXX DFG – Difference Frequency Generator

Advances in Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) Technology In an OPO the pump laser beam is split into two distinct beams - Signal and Idler. When the wavelength range of Signal and Idler is not reaching far enough into the mid-Infrared, the two beams can be mixed within the HarmoniXX DFG to significantly extend the wavelength range - even beyond 20 µm. Within APE's Difference Frequency Generator, the Signal and Idler are compressed and overlapped in time and space in a non-linear...

Our trusted representative of many years in Great Britain. Photonic Solutions have been representing APE in the UK and Ireland for 18 years. Working with a similar mindset and common understanding, we have had great success in making APE the unrivalled global leader in ultrashort pulse diagnostics and tunable wavelength conversion. In this respect, we are proud of the part we have played in helping APE’s PulseCheck autocorrelator to gain the status as the unrivalled global leader in ultrashort pulse...

Mid-IR tunable broadband light source

Ultrafast broad spectral femtosecond Mid-IR light source OverviewSpecificationContactOverview 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),...

waveScan

Spectrometer for Mid-IR, IR, VIS or UV The waveScan is a rotating grating spectrometer. This technology enables it to cover a wide wavelength range from 200 nm to 6300 nm. Especially at wavelengths beyond silicon and above 1100 nm users profit from highest resolution at a low cost. The quick and easy exchangeable input port adapts the waveScan to free-space or fiber lasers. The software offers useful analytical tools and of course data export. The waveScan is also ideal for...

Carpe

Microscopy Autocorrelator to Measure Pulse Duration at Sample Location OverviewSpecificationDownloadContactOverview Carpe is a great way to check the duration of short laser pulses in an optical microscope system. Laboratories and manufacturers are often faced with systematically establishing an unbroken chain of calibrations to specified references. All APE autocorrelator models are calibrated to a traceable standard in accordance with NIST (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology) measurement traceability specifications. A printed and signed calibration certificate is provided with each pulseCheck. The Carpe autocorrelator...
