OPO: Optical Parametric Oscillator

Chromacity Lasers specializes in the research and development of ultrafast lasers. Its product range covers the ultraviolet to mid-infrared wavelength bands, suitable for scientific research and industrial fields. The company's launched Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPOs), such as Auskerry and Haskeir, can generate broadband coherent light in different infrared wavelength bands, featuring high stability and easy integration. These lasers are particularly suitable for applications such as multiphoton excitation and fluorescence microscopy imaging, contributing to scientific research and technological development.

We were inspired to rename our Optical Parametric Oscillators after Scottish lighthouses. Lighthouses are among the earliest forms of using light to protect humans and safeguard industrial operations. We are seeking modern explorers who can use our tunable light sources to push the boundaries of scientific research and develop new technologies that protect people, assets, and the environment.

By emitting light from our OPOs, we aspire to emulate the profound social impact that lighthouses have had in serving communities for centuries.

Chromacity has developed a range of tunable laser sources covering the short to long infrared wavelength regions.

Chromacity  Auskerry(Previously known as the Near-Infrared OPO) is our flagship tunable Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO), which generates wavelengths in the range of 1.4 μm – 4.2 μm (7150 cm⁻¹ [note: the original text is incomplete; the wavenumber range is usually paired with a lower limit, e.g., "7150 cm⁻¹ – 2380 cm⁻¹" for the corresponding wavelength range of 1.4 μm – 4.2 μm]). -1 – 2400 cm -1range

Chromacity Haskeir(Previously known as the Mid-Infrared OPO) is powered by a new generation of nonlinear crystals and generates broadband coherent light in the long-wavelength region between 4.5 μm – 12 μm (2200 cm⁻¹ – 850 cm⁻¹).

 

Both picosecond OPOs are optically pumped by our high-power Chromacity 1040, which is fully integrated into the optical head to maximize stability and minimize the overall system footprint. Fiber delivery capability enhances the inherent stability of our OPO systems and enables seamless OEM integration for industrial applications.

 

Features

 

  • The 920 nm femtosecond laser is highly suitable for multiphoton excitation (MPE), especially for two-photon excitation of fluorophores and calcium markers (including YFP, GFP, eGFP, and GCaMP).     

  • Chromacity's ultrafast laser series can be installed very quickly and easily, and features an intuitive user interface to ensure straightforward operation.

  • Enhanced fiber coupling enables seamless integration with microscope setups used in basic research and industrial applications, featuring maximum optical power transmission and minimal femtosecond pulse dispersion.

  • With the introduction of the Chromacity 920 to complement our Chromacity 1040 femtosecond laser, these truly stable fiber-based systems enable researchers to make new discoveries in biomedical imaging.

  • Chromacity has ten years of experience in manufacturing and configuring the performance characteristics of ultrashort pulse lasers, supporting your multiphoton imaging goals.
