Ultrafast OPO System
Fiber Laser Pumped Picosecond Optical Parametric Oscillator: FPPO-900:
Product Description & Components:
The FPPO-900 is a picosecond, tunable OPO suitable for Raman imaging and spectroscopy. The system is pumped by a 6ps, 1064 nm, 109 MHz fiber laser, which is converted to 532 nm by second harmonic generation. The 532 nm pulses act as the pump for the OPO, which is tunable from 750 – 900 nm (signal) and 1300 -1800 nm (idler).

Diagrams & Product Description:
In a CARS experiment, the tunable signal beam is used as the pump, while the fundamental at 1064 nm provides the Stokes pulse. The user also has access to the longer wavelength idler pulses. The short duration (< 6 ps) and narrow bandwidth (<10 cm-1) provide the peak power and spectral selectivity that are necessary for CARS imaging and spectroscopy.
Applications:
- Coherent Raman spectroscopy and microscopy
- Two color pump-probe experiments
- Multiphoton microscopy
