Light Conversion's TOPAS-PRIME is a collinear femtosecond optical parametric amplifier (OPA) designed for Ti:Sapphire lasers.
The standard TOPAS-PRIME collinear OPA model accepts pump pulse energy of up to 3.5 mJ @ 20 – 60fs (up to 4 mJ @ 60– 200 fs), while TOPAS-PRIME-PLUS accepts higher pump pulse energy, up to 6 mJ @ 60– 200 fs.
Both models come with wavelength extension options, covering a wavelength range from 189 nm to 20 μm.
Features:
- Pump energy up to 6 mJ
- Energy conversion into the parametric radiation > 25%
- Tuning range spanning from 189 nm to 20 μm, computer controlled
- High output stability throughout the entire tuning range
- CEP stabilization of Idler
- Fresh pump channel improves temporal and spatial properties of sum-frequency options

TOPAS-PRIME and TOPAS-PRIME-PLUS specifications are given for the following pump laser parameters:
ULTRA-FAST (20-70 fs):
- 800 nm wavelength
- 1 mJ pulse energy
- 30 – 40 fs pulse duration
- 1 kHz repetition rate
- Gaussian beam
Note 1:
TOPAS-PRIME output energy scales up linearly in 1 – 5 mJ range, provided the device is installed and optimized for a particular pump energy. The device has to be re-optimized if the pump energy changes more than 10% from the installation value.
FAST (70-200 fs):
- 800 nm wavelength
- 1 mJ pulse energy
- 100-150 fs pulse duration
- 1 kHz repetition rate
- Gaussian beam
Note 1:
TOPAS-PRIME output energy scales up linearly in 1 - 6 mJ range, provided the device is installed and optimized for a particular pump energy. The device has to be re-optimized if the pump energy changes more than 10% from the installation value.
Note 2:
Pump pulse duration and wavelength affects the specifications. Check the specifications with us if the wavelength or the pulse duration differ from above values.
