OPA-800C Ultrafast OPAs
  • Tunable from 1.1–2.6 µm
  • Optional harmonic and frequency-mixing accessories extend tuning range from 235 nm–10 µm
  • Pumped with Spitfire Pro (<35 fs, <40 fs and <120 fs) and Solstice (<120 fs) for maximum flexibility of operation
  • White light seed for enhanced output stability
  • Multiple OPAs can be pumped by a single Spitfire Pro amplifier
  • Compact one-box design with user friendly layout for greater flexibility and ease of operation.
  • Type II BBO crystal for near transform limited output pulses and gap-free tunability from 1.1–3.0 µm

General Description Models

The Spectra-Physics OPA-800C is a kilohertz ultrafast optical parametric amplifier (OPA). It broadens the wavelength coverage of Spectra-Physics ultrafast amplifiers, such as the Solstice™ and Spitfire® Pro and provides gap free tunability from UV to mid-IR. Featuring a complete set of wavelength extension options, the OPA-800C allows tuning from 235 nm to 10 µm.

Applications
  • Ultrafast, time-resolved spectroscopy
  • Two-color experiments with independent wavelength tuning of pump and probe
  • Nonlinear optics
  • Coherent control studies
  • Combustion diagnostics
  • Telecommunications research
