This OPA is focused on generating long-term stable output with reliable hands-free operation. Manually tunable output wavelength extends the application possibilities of a single laser source, instead of requiring multiple lasers based on different technologies. In comparison to standard ORPHEUS line of devices, the I-OPA lacks only computer controlled wavelength selection. On the other hand, in-laser mounted design...

Ultrafast Lasers Ultrafast Lasers Comparison with other femtosecond and picosecond lasers Laser technology Pulse energy at 100 kHz, using PHAROS-10W laser 5 µJ Note that the pulse energy scales linearly in a broad range of pump parameters. For example, a PHAROS-20W laser at 50 kHz (400 µJ energy) will increase the output power twice, and the pulse energy – 4 times compared to the reference table above. The pulse duration at the output is <300 fs in all cases. The OPA output is not limited to these particular ranges of operation, it is continuously tunable as shown in energy conversion curves....
