Technical content

The Opera-F is an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) that extends the performance of Coherent’s Monaco amplifier. Opera-F delivers a broad tuning range, 650 nm to 900 nm and 1200 nm to 2500 nm. Opera-F is a two stage OPA seeded by a white-light continuum and pumped by the second harmonic of the Monaco. Opera-F uses a non-collinear first stage to generate broad bandwidth and a collinear second stage to generate the large tunable range. The signal output of the Opera-F can be compressed to <75 fs using a prism-based compressor, and the idler pulses to <100 fs, using a bulk compressor. Pumped by 60 W at up to 4 MHz and pulse energies up to 80 µJ from a Monaco amplifier, Opera-F can deliver >6 W signal + idler. The high power, high repetition rate capabilities of the Opera-F pumped by a Monaco is a superior tool delivering high energies or high repetition rates for demanding experiments. Features and Benefits

  • Up to 60 W pump power and up to 80 µJ pulse energy
  • Conversion efficiency >10% (signal + idler)
  • Wavelength range 650 nm to 900 nm (signal), 1200 nm to 2500 nm (idler)
  • Pulse widths <100 fs (with optional compressor)

Applications

  • Multiphoton Excitation (MPE) Microscopy
  • Optogenetics (Photo Activation)
  • Time-resolved Spectroscopy
  • Multidimensional Spectroscopy
  • Surface Spectroscopy Optical Parametric Amplifier for Yb Systems
