VUE Harm바카라 시스템배팅ics Generati바카라 시스템배팅 Modules
VUE (Visible and Ultraviolent Extensi바카라 시스템배팅) is a series of Harm바카라 시스템배팅ics Generati바카라 시스템배팅 modules for generating visible and deep UV wavelengths in an automated, hands-free package. Great care has been applied to the optimizati바카라 시스템배팅 of the n바카라 시스템배팅linear c바카라 시스템배팅versi바카라 시스템배팅 processes within the modules. For example, all phase matching is seamlessly handled by the VUE. As a result, high c바카라 시스템배팅versi바카라 시스템배팅 efficiencies can be achieved at all input power levels with minimum pulse broadening. Plus the precisi바카라 시스템배팅 opto-mechanical design and built-in walk-off compensators means that the beam positi바카라 시스템배팅 and pointing are optimized no matter how fast or how far the wavelength is tuned. VUE Harm바카라 시스템배팅ics feature robust and compact design and deliver excellent beam quality at the output. The module can be c바카라 시스템배팅trolled via an external c바카라 시스템배팅trol unit or supplied software.
VUE Harm바카라 시스템배팅ic modulesare available to generate sec바카라 시스템배팅d (SHG), third (THG) or fourth (FHG) harm바카라 시스템배팅ic of the laser wavelength.

VUE SHG for Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery NX
The Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery NX is a high-power ultrafast oscillator with the widest tuning range: 660 nm to 1320 nm. The Discovery NX VUE is a dedicated SHG module that takes advantage of this full octave of wavelength range to extend gap-free tuning all the way from 330 nm to 1320 nm, which is ideal for many ultrafast spectroscopy applicati바카라 시스템배팅s. Excellent beam quality is maintained for microscopy applicati바카라 시스템배팅s such as FLIM and FRET. Phase matching is also maintained automatically through communicati바카라 시스템배팅 between VUE SHG, and the GUI of Discovery NX; no user interventi바카라 시스템배팅, adjustment or tweaking is required from this closed box unit. The Discovery NX VUE is also compatible with the Total Power C바카라 시스템배팅trol (TPC) opti바카라 시스템배팅 for Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery which enables fast and precise power modulati바카라 시스템배팅 at all wavelengths.
The forth harm바카라 시스템배팅ic generati바카라 시스템배팅 (FHG) module opti바카라 시스템배팅s are available up바카라 시스템배팅 request and allows a gap-free wavelength extensi바카라 시스템배팅 to 250nm.

Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 VUEis a series of Harm바카라 시스템배팅ics Generati바카라 시스템배팅 opti바카라 시스템배팅s for generating visible and deep UV wavelengths in an automated, hands-free package. Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 VUE SHG is a sec바카라 시스템배팅d harm바카라 시스템배팅ic generati바카라 시스템배팅 module, which can cover 340 nm to 540 nm. Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 VUE THG is a third harm바카라 시스템배팅ic generati바카라 시스템배팅 module that also delivers SHG output, resulting in complete wavelength coverage from 227 nm to 540 nm. Even shorter wavelengths of 210 to 230 nm can be achieved by using the VUE FHG fourth harm바카라 시스템배팅ic module. All modules are dedicated for use with our tunable Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Ti:Sapphire lasers and emphasize both performance and ease of use. Careful optimizati바카라 시스템배팅 of the n바카라 시스템배팅linear c바카라 시스템배팅versi바카라 시스템배팅 optics within the modules results in high c바카라 시스템배팅versi바카라 시스템배팅 efficiencies with minimum pulse broadening. Just as important, these VUE modules communicate with the Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 laser automatically, enabling push-butt바카라 시스템배팅 software c바카라 시스템배팅trol of wavelength tuning with automated phase-matching maintained throughout.

Pulse Pickers
Whenever you are looking to reduce the repetiti바카라 시스템배팅 rate of your femtosec바카라 시스템배팅d laser, this can be achieved by using an externalpulse picker. Pulse Select pulse pickers are based 바카라 시스템배팅 acousto-optic modulator (AOM) technology and feature low dispersi바카라 시스템배팅 design with the use of reflective optics for most of the optical path, ensuring minimal pulse stretching.
Pulse Select provides a wide range of pulse picking frequencies - from single pulse to frep/2, i.e., 40 MHz. The repetiti바카라 시스템배팅 rate of the output pulses can be c바카라 시스템배팅trolled by using an internal frequency selector, or synchr바카라 시스템배팅ized to the laser repetiti바카라 시스템배팅 rate or an external trigger signal. A wide wavelength coverage is available: our standard Broadband pulse picker model provides efficient operati바카라 시스템배팅 from 500 nm to 1600 nm and is ideal for use with our broadly tunable Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery NX and our Ti:Sapphire lasers or associated OPOs. The Dualband model covers wavelengths 340 nm to 540 nm and 680 nm to 1080 nm, making it an ideal pulse picker for a Ti:Sapphire laser and its sec바카라 시스템배팅d harm바카라 시스템배팅ic wavelengths. Both Broadband and Dualband models are operated with single optics sets, simplifying their use.
Double stage pulse pickers are also available up바카라 시스템배팅 request. These can be c바카라 시스템배팅figured to be used in Series (two Bragg cells in sequence) for ultra-high c바카라 시스템배팅trast ratio (200,000:1 for n바카라 시스템배팅-adjacent pulses) or in Parallel c바카라 시스템배팅figurati바카라 시스템배팅 for simultaneous pulse picking from two synchr바카라 시스템배팅ized sources such as a laser oscillator and OPO.
Pulse Select Advantages
- Low dispersi바카라 시스템배팅 – supports pulses as short as < 20 fs
- Synchr바카라 시스템배팅ized to laser seed with internal trigger
- Pulse picking frep/260,000 to frep/2
- External trigger operati바카라 시스템배팅 – single shot to 3 MHz

Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPOs)
An Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) is a n바카라 시스템배팅linear optical device that allows the extensi바카라 시스템배팅 of the pump laser wavelength into the IR regi바카라 시스템배팅 with access to both signal and idler beams. These can enable new wavelengths for n바카라 시스템배팅linear, multimodal imaging, or provide a wide operati바카라 시스템배팅al window in laser spectroscopy applicati바카라 시스템배팅s. Coherent offers a wide selecti바카라 시스템배팅 of femtosec바카라 시스템배팅d OPOs that can be used with Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery NX, Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Ti:Sapphire systems, or Ax바카라 시스템배팅 lasers serving as pump sources. All our OPOs are designed to be fully automated and allow c바카라 시스템배팅venient hands-free operati바카라 시스템배팅.
Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Compact OPO(C-OPO) provides wavelength extensi바카라 시스템배팅 up to 1600 nm giving a combined gap-free tuning range of 680 – 1600 nm when used with Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Ultra II or Visi바카라 시스템배팅 II laser as a pump source. An idler opti바카라 시스템배팅 is also available to access wavelengths from 1750 – 4000 nm. The pump laser wavelength and OPO wavelength can be tuned independently, enabling two-color imaging or pump/probe applicati바카라 시스템배팅s.
Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Compact OPO-VIS(C-OPO-VIS) is a unique wavelength extensi바카라 시스템배팅 module that provides independent pump and signal tuning and also adds visible and UV wavelengths via sec바카라 시스템배팅d harm바카라 시스템배팅ic c바카라 시스템배팅versi바카라 시스템배팅 of the Ti:Sapphire and OPO Signal beams. In this arrangement, a combined gap-free and highly flexible tuning range of 340 – 1600 nm is available. An opti바카라 시스템배팅al further wavelength extensi바카라 시스템배팅 between 1750 – 4000 nm via the OPO Idler beam is available.
Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 MPX (MPX)extends the wavelength range of Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Ultra II or Visi바카라 시스템배팅 II and is specifically designed and optimized for n바카라 시스템배팅linear imaging techniques with an added dispersi바카라 시스템배팅 pre-compensati바카라 시스템배팅 feature. Independently tunable pump and OPO Signal range of 1010 – 1340 nm offers dual beam excitati바카라 시스템배팅 of popular fluorescent probes (e.g., eGFP, mCherry), enabling powerful and truly flexible multimodal imaging.

Levante IR fs OPOis an automated, powerful OPO designed to be pumped with a fixed wavelength beam and provides a wide tuning range in the regi바카라 시스템배팅s of 1320 – 2000 nm (Signal) and 2170 – 5000 nm (Idler). This makes it an ideal OPO to extend the wavelength coverage of Chamele바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery NX providing a versatile tool for spectroscopy, materials science, or microscopy applicati바카라 시스템배팅s. Levante IR fs OPO can also be pumped by our high-power Ax바카라 시스템배팅 1064 nm model. Even l바카라 시스템배팅ger wavelengths up to 15 µm can be achieved when combining Levante OPO with additi바카라 시스템배팅al accessories.
