Light Conversion ORPHEUS-NEO: Next-Generation Optical Parametric Amplifier

Light Conversion's ORPHEUS-NEO is the next-generation optical parametric amplifier (OPA). With its simple-to-use and hassle-free design, ORPHEUS-NEO emerges as an invaluable tool in even the most demanding scientific applications.

The ORPHEUS-NEO is available in several different configurations, providing high-power UV – MIR (210 – 16000 nm) output. Furthermore, ORPHEUS‑NEO can be pumped by sub‑100 fs PHAROS‑UP, see ORPHEUS‑NEO‑UP and ORPHEUS‑NEO‑ONE‑UP.

Thanks to its robust industrial design, all configurations ensure remarkable long‑term stability. Most importantly, the device is equipped with multiple detectors for pump beam position tracking and continuous monitoring of output parameters. This results in the fastest remote diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Light Conversion ORPHEUS: Collinear Optical Parametric Amplifier

Light Conversion's 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. 

Light Conversion ORPHEUS-MIR: The Source for Broad-Band Mid-IR Pulses

Light Conversion's ORPHEUS-MIR is a broad-bandwidth optical parametric amplifier of white‑light continuum pumped by femtosecond Ytterbium based laser amplifiers and optimized for the efficient generation of broadband mid-IR pulses. The laser system provides broadband pulses in the tuning range of 2500 – 10000 nm, and it reaches up to 15000 nm, with an optional narrow-bandwidth extension. Due to the novel system design, ORPHEUS-MIR provides < 100 fs pulses directly at the output. Signal and Idler outputs are available simultaneously. ORPHEUS-MIR architecture is well-suited for high energy and high power PHAROS and CARBIDE lasers. 

Light Conversion ORPHEUS-VIS: Ultrashort-Pulse VIS Optical Parametric Amplifier

Light Conversion's ORPHEUS-VIS is an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) optimized for the generation of high-energy short-pulse VIS output. The laser system provides ultrashort pulses in the tuning range of 450 – 600 nm or 320 – 900 nm, depending on the chosen configuration, and extends down to 250 nm with an optional UV extension. The ORPHEUS-VIS system can be coupled with PHAROS or CARBIDE femtosecond pump lasers and can be pumped with up to 20 W average power and 1 mJ energy pulses, thus capable of providing up to tens of microjoules in VIS and microjoule-level output in UV.

Light Conversion ORPHEUS-N: Non-Collinear Optical Parametric Amplifier

Light Conversion's ORPHEUS‑N is a non‑collinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) pumped by PHAROS or CARBIDE femtosecond lasers. Depending on the model, ORPHEUS‑N has an integrated second or third harmonic generator, producing 515 nm or 343 nm pump. ORPHEUS‑N with a second harmonic pump (ORPHEUS‑N‑2H) delivers pulses of less than 30 fs in 700 nm – 850 nm range. ORPHEUS‑N while a third harmonic pump (ORPHEUS‑N‑3H) delivers pulses of less than 30 fs in 530 nm – 670 nm range. 

Light Conversion ORPHEUS-PS: Narrow-Bandwidth Optical Parametric Amplifier

Light Conversion's ORPHEUS‑PS is a narrow-bandwidth optical parametric amplifier of white light continuum designed for PHAROS and CARBIDE pump lasers. This device is pumped by the picosecond pulses produced in SHBC second harmonic bandwidth compressor and seeded by white-light continuum generated by femtosecond pulses. This enables to achieve very high pulse-to-pulse energy stability compared to other methods of generating tunable picosecond pulses. The white light generation module is also integrated into the same housing as amplification modules enabling even better long term stability and ease of use. The system features high conversion efficiency, nearly bandwidth and diffraction limited output, full computer control via USB port and LabVIEW drivers.
