General Description Models

The Spectra-Physics® Inspire™ ultrafast OPO family delivers unprecedented tuning range from 345 nm to 2.5 µm gap-free and with no change of intracavity optics or crystals. Pumped with the Mai Tai® ultrafast Ti:Sapphire lasers, they also deliver exceptionally high power across the UV and visible range and provide adjustable pulse width from 80 to 350 fs. The Inspire OPO features user-friendly, computer-controlled tuning across the range with no changes in optics or crystals. The system’s robust design ensures high stability and insensitivity to ambient temperature change.

The Inspire OPO family offers:

  • User-friendly gap-free tuning from 345 nm to 2.5 µm—no change of optics or crystals required.
  • Five output ports available: signal output (490-750 nm with >400 mW), idler output (930-2500 nm with >200 mW), fundamental output (690-1040 nm with >1 W), doubled fundamental output (345-520 nm with >1 W), and alignment output.
  • Simultaneous output from either two or three output ports—ideal for applications requiring more than one wavelength such as CARS.
  • HF version with fully-automated hands-free wavelength tuning complete with automated cavity alignment to maintain optimal power and pulse durations.
  • Auto version with semi-automated tuning and nearly transform-limited pulse duration flexibility (80-350 fs) for tailoring pulse widths to match experimental conditions.

With its unprecedented gap-free wavelength coverage with no change in optics required, the Inspire OPO family is the next-generation OPO for developing cutting-edge imaging and spectroscopy applications.
