Abstract
In this short video, we demonstrate the tuning capability of our picosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The Chromacity Near-IR OPO is one of the most affordable picosecond lasers on the market, delivering high average power across the 1.4 µm – 4 µm region. With remote installation capability and minimal set-up required, the Chromacity Near-IR OPO is operational ready straight out-of-the-box. Tunability and high average power enables a broad range of spectroscopic and sensing applications. Generating broadband coherent light at a high repetition rate (100 MHz) is key to setups that are detecting a wide range of solids, liquids and gases for materials characterisation, stand-off and explosive detection. A key application for the Chromacity Near-IR OPO is Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The Chromacity OPO's high average power supports the detection of multiple gases simultaneously, at range (70 m), and in real-time. The ability to identify chemical signatures at safe distance, such as nerve agents and carcinogenic substances, has been used in security and defense sectors, whereas the increasing interest in environmental sensing technology ensures the Chromacity OPO is uniquely placed to detect and quantify harmful emissions in the atmosphere. The Chromacity Near-IR OPO has also been used in pioneering quantum-enhanced optical systems to drive advances in satellite communication, encryption and measurement by pushing the development of single photon detectors for the detection of entangled photons at 2.1 µm.
