Product Detail

The TOPAS™ is a kilohertz ultrafast optical parametric amplifier (OPA). It broadens the wavelength coverage of the Spectra-Physics Spitfire^® Pro amplifiers and provides gap free tunability from deep UV to mid-IR. Featuring a complete set of wavelength extension options, the TOPAS allows tuning from 189 nm to 20 mm.

The Spitfire Pro – with its high output energy (up to 3mJ per pulse at 1 kHz), ultrashort pulse duration (as low as 35 fs) and exceptional output quality and stability – is the ideal pump for the TOPAS. These superior output characteristics ensure maximum conversion efficiency for the parametric amplification process, thus producing high energy, near-transform-limited pulses throughout the tuning range.

Applications

Multicolor pump-probe studies
Transient absorption spectroscopy when used with Newport Helios spectrometer
Nonlinear optics
