Single Housing Mid-Infrared Tunable Picosecond Laser System
PT501 series laser systems integrate a picosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and a pump laser in a single compact housing. Mounting the components on the same frame provides a robust solution. It makes laser installation shorter, improves long-term stability, and reduces maintenance costs.
Hands-free tuning: motorized for the entire tuning range
Linewidth <4 cm‑1 in the entire tuning range
Repetition rate 100 Hz
Air cooled – external water supply is not required
Beam direction stability in the entire tuning range
Single housing: integrates a pump laser and OPO in a single housing
PC control via USB (virtual COM port), RS232, LAN using REST API commands
Fast wavelength scan (sweep)
Applications
Infrared spectroscopy
SFG (sum frequency generation spectroscopy)
Description
PT501 series laser systems integrate a picosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and a pump laser in a single compact housing. Mounting the components on the same frame provides a robust solution. It makes laser installation shorter, improves long-term stability, and reduces maintenance costs.
Fast and fully automatic wavelength tuning is achieved by advanced microprocessor control. The wavelength tuning elements are mounted on precise closed-loop micro-stepping motors. The temperatures of the nonlinear crystals are controlled by precise thermo-controllers. No additional manual adjustment of the laser system is needed.
For customer convenience the system can be controlled by a keypad and/or any controller running on any OS using REST API commands. Variety of interfaces USB, RS232, LAN, WLAN (optionally) ensures easy control and integration with other equipment.
