Tunable OPO for IR Pump Laser ■ Levante IR is a synchronously pumped Optical Parametric Oscillator with an innovative and user-friendly design. Mode-locked lasers with an output wavelength of 1 µm are suitable as pump lasers. The output wavelength ranges from approx. 1300 nm to 5000 nm. The tunable IR OPO is available as picosecond and femtosecond version. Its synchronous pumping scheme provides a jitter-free and stable repetition rate that is identical to the repetition rate of the pump laser. Automated wavelength tuning Synchronous pumping scheme Standard Software Interface (using TCP/IP) Integrated spectrometer for OPO Signal wavelength range

Automated Tuning for IR Wavelength Range ■ The output wavelength range for the Signal beam is 1315 ... 2000 nm and the wavelength for the Idler output ranges from 2150 ... 5000 nm. This is ideal for applications that require tunable radiation in the IR range, e.g. vibrational spectroscopy. The wavelength tuning is fully automated. An extended wavelength range from 660 nm to 15 μm can be generated when Levante IR is operated in combination with APE's HarmoniXX series.
