FEATURES

ᰋ Combination of best collinear and non-collinear OPA featuresᰋ Ultrashort pulses in NIR (650 – 900 nm and 1200 – 2500 nm)
ᰋ Single-shot – 2 MHz repetition rate

ᰋ < 100 fs pulse duration

ᰋ Adjustable spectral bandwidthᰋ Optional long pulse mode for gap-free tunability

ORPHEUS-F is a hybrid optical parametric amplifier(OPA), combining the short pulse duration produced by anon‑collinear OPA (NOPA) and the wide tuning range offered
by a collinear OPA.

available for accessing the 900 – 1200 nm tuning range; thus,
enabling a gap-free tunability.

The Signal pulses of ORPHEUS-F are tunable in a 650 – 900 nm
range and can be compressed with a simple prism-based
compressor down to 25 – 70 fs pulse duration. The Idler
pulses are tunable in a 1200 – 2500 nm range and reach pulse
duration of 40 – 100 fs. In addition, a long-pulse mode is5000

ORPHEUS-F provides significantly shorter pulses comparedto the standard ORPHEUS model and a wider tuning range
compared to the non-collinear ORPHEUS-N. Thus, for many
scientific applications, ORPHEUS-F is the optimal choice.
For compact single-box solution, refer to I-OPA in ORPHEUS-F
configuration.
