Microtech Instruments tunable OPO is pumped by a picosecond fiber laser

The FPPO-1000 tunable optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is designed for coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and other multiphoton imaging and spectroscopy applications. The near-infrared system is pumped by a 6 ps, 1064 nm, 110 MHz fiber laser, which is converted to 532 nm by second-harmonic generation. It has a bandwidth of <10 cm^-1.Microtech Instruments
Eugene, OR[email protected]More Products ----- PRESS RELEASE Microtech has introduced a near-IR picosecond, tunable OPO: FPPO-1000, designed for coherent Raman (CARS) and other multi-photon imaging and spectroscopy applications. The system is pumped by a 6ps, 1064 nm, 110 MHz fiber laser, which is converted to 532 nm by second harmonic generation. The 532 nm pulses act as the pump for the OPO, which is tunable from 740–1000 nm (signal) and 1150–1800 nm (idler). In a CARS experiment, the tunable signal beam is used as the pump, while the fundamental at 1064 nm provides the Stokes pulse. The user also has access to the longer wavelength idler pulses. The short duration (< 6ps) and narrow bandwidth (<10cm^-1) of FPPO-1000 provide the peak power and spectral selectivity critical for CARS imaging and spectroscopy. More information on FPPO-1000 ultrafast OPO system is available at: http://www.mtinstruments.com/2012%20Datasheets/FPPO-1000.pdf In anticipation of imminent price declines in ultrafast fiber laser market, FPPO-1000 is priced at a 50% discount compared to competing systems based on Ti:sapphire or YAG lasers.
