07 Nov 2008 The Palitra Series of ultra-fast OPAs from Quantronix deliver the widest gap-free tuning range (175nm – 22microm) and the highest conversion efficiency (>40% at peak) on the market. Distributed in the UK by Photonic Solutions, The Palitra is a white-light continuum (WLC) seeded, co-linear OPA which is pumped by a fs Ti:Sapphire amplifier, delivering ultrafast pulses over the entire wavelength tuning range. Each Palitra model is built in a compact, thermally stabilised enclosure, providing stable, hands-off performance. Options are available to integrate two or three Palitra units into one box to be seeded by a single WLC giving best possible inter-OPA coherence. The Palitra can also be directly integrated into the amplifier box. For example it is possible to purchase an Integra-C with the Palitra OPA integrated inside.
Three models of the Palitra are available with pulse widths <40fs, <130fs and <3ps. All are fully automated with hands free computer control. |
