Feb 10, 2004 OPerA™ is a low noise, femtosecond OPA that extends wavelength range of Ti:Sapphire kilohertz amplifiers from UV through mid-IR. Standard unit tunes from 1,150-2,900 nm, while Opera-VIS adds output from 400-1,150 nm, and Opera-UV adds output from less than 300-400 nm. A 1.0 mJ of pump energy produces more than 0.1 mJ signal and more than 0.05 mJ idler beams. OPerA is suited for femtosecond spectroscopy and nonlinear optic applications.
