GWU-OPO-PS
The GWU-OPO-PS is an SPPO that extends the Tsunami laser output to
longer wavelengths. It provides a signal output from 1.04 to 1.2 µm with a
corresponding idler of 2.37–2.82 µm. Output power is specified as
> 150 mW at 1.14 µm with a pulse width of < 2 ps.
Regenerative Amplifier Systems
Spectra-Physics offers high and low repetition rate regenerative amplifier
systems to extend the performance of the Tsunami laser to higher output
power levels.
• TSA Low Repetition Rate Amplifier—The TSA Ti:sapphire regener-
ative amplifier series provides output pulse energies up to more than
100 mJ for both fs and ps pulse widths at repetition rates from 1 to
100 Hz. The TSA system uses one or more Quanta-Ray pulsed Nd:YAG
lasers as pump sources and a seed pulse train, which is derived from
the Tsunami. The overall output energy and repetition rate is deter-
mined by the Quanta-Ray pump source.
• Spitfire High Repetition Rate Amplifier—The Spitfire Ti:sapphire
regenerative amplifier series produces output pulse energies up to 3 mJ
for both fs and ps pulse widths at repetition rates from 1 to 5 kHz. It is
pumped either by a Merlin, an intracavity, frequency-doubled, CW,
lamp-pumped Nd:YLF laser, or by an Evolution, an intracavity fre-
quency-doubled, diode-pumped, Nd:YLF laser.
The seed pulse train is provided by the Tsunami. The output energy is
determined by the configuration of the Spitfire and the Merlin/Evolu-
tion pump laser.
For the above-mentioned regenerative amplifier systems, a complete
portfolio of accessories is available. For example, the Spectra-Physics
OPA-800C optical parametric amplifier provides wavelength tunability
from < 300 nm to > 10 µm for both fs and ps pulses.
