Coherent TOPAS Ultrafast OPA
Coherent TOPAS Ultrafast OPA
Computer-controller OPA used to extend the tuning range of amplifiers
The TOPAS is a computer-controlled optical parametric amplifier (OPA) used to extend the tuning range of the Legend Elite, Legend Elite Cryo PA, Hidra and Libra amplifiers.
TOPAS-Prime is the newest generation of computer-controlled optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) providing the ability to extend the tuning ranges of the Astrella, Legend Elite HE+ and Libra ultrafast amplifier families. All of the best features from the TOPAS-800-fs are retained in the TOPAS-Prime including white light seeding for lowest output noise performance. In addition, TOPAS-Prime employs a monolithic housing for improved mechanical stability. TOPAS-Prime uses a modular design and wavelength extension packages to achieve a tuning range of 190nm to 20μm.
Features:
- Monolithic housing for mechanical stability
- Computer-controlled tunable output
- Energy conversion >30% to 35% to parametric light
- Low output noise due to whitelight seeding
- Optional fresh pump channel for improved sum frequency performance
- Modular option for extended tuning from 190nm to 20μm tuning range, standard tuning is from 1150nm to 2600nm
- Configurations to accommodate pulse widths from all Coherent kHz femtosecond amplifiers (<130fs, <50fs, <40fs, <35fs and <25fs)
- Multiple OPA's can be pumped with one Ti:S amplifier
- High pump-energy models available (up to 20mJ)
