Overview
The Levante Emerald ps is a synchronously pumped, tunable OPO with high conversion efficiency generating 660 nm to 2300 nm wavelength range. It is driven by green (SHG of 1 µm) mode-locked picosecond lasers. Depending on the pump laser it provides 2 ps to 12 ps pulses with a 1.5 cm-1 to 10 cm-1 bandwidth at Watt-level Signal/Idler output power. With optional harmonic generators for Signal and Idler extending down to the 4th harmonic, systems can be configured from 190 nm to 2300 nm. It is ideal for quantum dot research, metrology, coherent Raman microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging.
Systems can be further customized using pulse pickers (pulseSelect) to reduce the repetition rate, spectral slicers (pulseSlicer) for bandwidth reduction and optical delay lines (scanDelay). Multiple OPOs can also be pumped simultaneously by a single pump laser to generate independent, tunable, and temporally synchronized pulses.
Customization is our specialty. If your requirements are not listed in the specification table, please feel free to contact us.
