Wavelength-tunable sources
ORPHEUS-N
Non-collinear optical parametric amplifier
A non-collinear OPA for pulses shorter than 50 fs, and below 30 fs in some configurations, when the experiment needs shorter pulses than the pump.
Features
- Non-collinear amplification
- Pulse duration < 50 fs; < 30 fs options
- Shorter than the pump pulse
- Signal-wave output
- Ultrafast spectroscopy and HHG seeding
