Description
ORPHEUS is a series of optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) designed for seamless integration with Yb-based CARBIDE or PHAROS femtosecond lasers. Emitting femtosecond pulses tunable from UV to MIR at repetition rates of up to 2 MHz, ORPHEUS is an invaluable tool for ultrafast spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy, and microstructuring applications.
ORPHEUS OPAs are available in several models to meet diverse scientific requirements:
ORPHEUS: Accepts high-power pump beams and provides a wide tuning range from 630 to 2600 nm, extendable from 190 to 16000 nm with a wavelength extension module integrated into a thermally stabilized housing. Automated wavelength tuning and beam separation ensure convenient, hands-free operation.
ORPHEUS-F: Combines the short pulse durations of a noncollinear OPA (NOPA) with the wide tuning range of a collinear OPA. The signal is tunable from 650 to 900 nm and can be compressed down to 25–70 fs, while the idler is tunable from 1200 to 2500 nm with pulse durations of 40–100 fs.
ORPHEUS-ONE: Designed for the spectral range from 1400 to 16000 nm, it achieves higher pump-to-signal conversion efficiencies in the mid-IR range.
For a compact single-box solution, consider the I-OPA industrial-grade optical parametric amplifier. For an OPA compatible with the PHAROS-UP ultrashort-pulse laser, refer to the ORPHEUS‑NEO next-generation OPA. For platforms accepting higher pump pulse energies, see ORPHEUS-HE high-energy OPA.
