Ultrafast Laser Wavelength Converters

Many ultrafast applications require broad, efficient wavelength tunability from the deep UV to the mid IR. To serve these needs and augment our leading portfolio of ultrafast oscillators and amplifiers, Spectra-Physics offers market-leading OPOs and OPAs.

  • Pumped with either our Mai Tai or Tsunami oscillators, Inspire™, Inspire™ IR, and Inspire™ Blue OPOs feature ultra-broad, gap-free tuning range from UV to mid IR wavelengths. Inspire IR is designed for straightforward, push-button access to mid IR wavelengths with high power.
  • TOPAS Prime, together with its harmonic conversion accessories, is the industry standard for automated amplifier output wavelength conversion from deep UV to mid IR. TOPAS Prime can be pumped by all Solstice Ace and Spitfire Ace Ti:Sapphire amplifiers.
  • Designed as a turn-key wavelength extension for our Spirit ultrafast laser, Spirit-OPA® / Spirit-NOPA® is a high repetition rate, automated OPA/NOPA with widely tunable, gap-free output from UV to mid IR. Multiple configurations are available such as pumping a single OPA/NOPA for maximum output energy or simultaneously pumping multiple OPAs/NOPAs for multi-beam, multi-color time resolved experiments.
  • High performance tunable second (SHG), third (THG) and fourth (FHG) harmonic generation are also available for our portfolio of oscillators and amplifiers.
