Opal Femtosecond OPO
Opal Femtosecond OPO

  • High output power typically >600 mW at 1.3 mm and >400 mW at 1.5 mm
  • Simple automated wavelength scans
  • Wide continuous spectral coverage by a single set of optics with synchronized signal and idler outputs deliver wavelengths from 1.1 to 2.25 mm
  • Mode-locked output pulses <200 fs

Product Detail

The Spectra-Physics Opal® BB is an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that delivers broadly tunable femtosecond pulses from 1.1 to 2.25 mm with a single set of optics. It further extends output of the Mai Tai® HP and Tsunami® ultrafast Ti:Sapphire lasers into the infrared. In addition, Opal BB also provides frequency-doubled wavelengths in the “missing” visible region not accessible by Ti:Sapphire alone. For ease of use, all operational and wavelength tuning features are automatically controlled by the built-in computer, which can be interfaced to other equipment using an RS-232 or GPIB interface.



The Opal BB offers higher power than any other commercial OPO through the use of an LBO crystal. This robust material can accept much higher pump power than other bulk or periodically poled materials. As a result, the Opal typically produces >600 mW at 1.3 mm and >400 mW at 1.5 mm.
