Quantronix Palitra Series OPA

Palitra


The Palitra series of white-light continuum (WLC) seeded Optical Parametric Amplifiers (OPAs) are characterized by extremely high efficiency (>40% at peak), stable performance, full automation, and unprecedented gap-free spectral range of 175 nm to 22 μm. Their ultra-compact footprint significantly improves stability and saves precious space on the optical table and in spectroscopic systems. All Palitra OPAs are pumped at 800 nm directly by femtosecond Ti:Sapphire amplifiers, providing turnkey performance while maintaining excellent beam quality and pulse energy stability.

Superior Performance

  • Robust and stable short- and long-term performance

  • Completely automated operation

  • Highest OPA conversion efficiency

  • Broadest spectral tuning in the market (175 nm to 22 μm)

  • Single-box design providing turnkey tunability from 230 to 2700 nm

    Ease of Use

  • Hands-free operation

  • Computer Controllable: Palitra Commander

  • Advantages for Time-Resolved Spectroscopy

  • Nearly transform-limited pulses

  • Wide range of energies and pulse repetition rates

  • Outstanding beam-pointing, energy and spectral stability

  • Excellent spatial, spectral, temporal coherence and contrast

  • Integration of two or three PalitraOPAs into one enclosure, sharing the same seed for best coherence between the OPA outputs

Features

  • Smallest footprint in the market

  •  Designed for easy automation and integration into OEM applications

  •  No dependence on environmental changes (±5°C, 10-90% humidity) due to full integration into a single rugged thermally stabilized enclosure and usage of non-hygroscopic nonlinear crystals

  •  Integrated wavelength extensions into the thermally stabilized Palitra enclosure (except DUV1-2, VUV and nIR1-3) for optimum stability and conversion efficiency

  •  Largest variations of repetition rate and pump wavelength on the market with no major realignment (keep pump repetition rate to <500 kHz, pulse duration to <300 fs and energy to >30 µJ)

Options

  • Exchangeable modular extensions UV, DUV1-2, nIR1-3, IR1-3

  •  Integrated wavelength extensions: UV1-3, VIS1-3

  •  Manual option for applications requiring no frequent wavelength tuning

  •  Wavelength calibration and software offset for fast recalibration

  •  Wavelength separators, beam telescope, tubing and beam routing optics

  • Duo and Trio options for two or three Palitra units integrated in the same enclosure and seeded by the same white-light continuum

  •  High-energy option for pump pulse energies of 10-100 mJ at 800 nm

Applications

  •  Time-Resolved Spectroscopy in Gas and Condensed Phases

  •  Femtochemistry and Femtobiology

  •  Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics

  •  Time-Resolved Mass-Spectrometry, Photoionization, Photoelectron, and PEPICO Spectroscopies, ZEKE and LIF Spectroscopies

  •  Raman Spectroscopy, CARS spectroscopy, Fs-Pump Ps-Probe spectroscopy

  •  2D-IR Vibrational Spectroscopy, Nonlinear Four-Wave Mixing Spectroscopy, Coherent Photon-Echo Correlations

  •  2PPE Spectroscopy on Surfaces, Sum-Frequency Spectroscopy on Interface
