VUE Harmonics Generation Modules
VUE (Visible and Ultraviolent Extension) is a series of Harmonics Generation modules for generating visible and deep UV wavelengths in an automated, hands-free package. Great care has been applied to the optimization of the nonlinear 바카라 시스템배팅nversion processes within the modules. For example, all phase matching is seamlessly handled by the VUE. As a result, high 바카라 시스템배팅nversion efficiencies can be achieved at all input power levels with minimum pulse broadening. Plus the precision opto-mechanical design and built-in walk-off 바카라 시스템배팅mpensators means that the beam position and pointing are optimized no matter how fast or how far the wavelength is tuned. VUE Harmonics feature robust and 바카라 시스템배팅mpact design and deliver excellent beam quality at the output. The module can be 바카라 시스템배팅ntrolled via an external 바카라 시스템배팅ntrol unit or supplied software.
VUE Harmonic modulesare available to generate second (SHG), third (THG) or fourth (FHG) harmonic of the 바카라 시스템배팅 wavelength.

VUE SHG for 바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery NX
The 바카라 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 applications. Excellent beam quality is maintained for microscopy applications such as FLIM and FRET. Phase matching is also maintained automatically through communication between VUE SHG, and the GUI of Discovery NX; no user intervention, adjustment or tweaking is required from this closed box unit. The Discovery NX VUE is also compatible with the Total Power Control (TPC) option for 바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery which enables fast and precise power modulation at all wavelengths.
The forth harmonic generation (FHG) module options are available upon request and allows a gap-free wavelength extension to 250바카라 시스템배팅.

VUE Harmonics for Chameleon Ti:Sapphire 바카라 시스템배팅s
바카라 시스템배팅 VUEis a series of Harmonics Generation options for generating visible and deep UV wavelengths in an automated, hands-free package. Chameleon VUE SHG is a second harmonic generation module, which can cover 340 nm to 540 nm. Chameleon VUE THG is a third harmonic generation 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 harmonic module. All modules are dedicated for use with our tunable Chameleon Ti:Sapphire 바카라 시스템배팅s and emphasize both performance and ease of use. Careful optimization of the nonlinear conversion optics within the modules results in high conversion efficiencies with minimum pulse broadening. Just as important, these VUE modules communicate with the Chameleon 바카라 시스템배팅 automatically, enabling push-button software control of wavelength tuning with automated phase-matching maintained throughout.

Pulse Pickers
Whenever you are looking to reduce the repetition rate of your femtosecond 바카라 시스템배팅, this can be achieved by using an externalpulse picker. Pulse Select pulse pickers are based on a바카라 시스템배팅usto-optic modulator (AOM) technology and feature low dispersion 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 repetition rate of the output pulses can be controlled by using an internal frequency selector, or synchronized to the 바카라 시스템배팅 repetition rate or an external trigger signal. A wide wavelength coverage is available: our standard Broadband pulse picker model provides efficient operation from 500 nm to 1600 nm and is ideal for use with our broadly tunable Chameleon Discovery NX and our Ti:Sapphire 바카라 시스템배팅s 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 바카라 시스템배팅 and its second harmonic wavelengths. Both Broadband and Dualband models are operated with single optics sets, simplifying their use.
Double stage pulse pickers are also available upon request. These can be configured to be used in Series (two Bragg cells in sequence) for ultra-high contrast ratio (200,000:1 for non-adjacent pulses) or in Parallel configuration for simultaneous pulse picking from two synchronized sources such as a 바카라 시스템배팅 oscillator and OPO.
Pulse Select Advantages
- Low dispersion – supports pulses as short as < 20 fs
- Synchronized to 바카라 시스템배팅 seed with internal trigger
- Pulse picking frep/260,000 to frep/2
- External trigger operation – single shot to 3 MHz

Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPOs)
An Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) is a nonlinear optical device that allows the extension of the pump 바카라 시스템배팅 wavelength into the IR region with access to both signal and idler beams. These can enable new wavelengths for nonlinear, multimodal imaging, or provide a wide operational window in 바카라 시스템배팅 spectroscopy applications. Coherent offers a wide selection of femtosecond OPOs that can be used with Chameleon Discovery NX, Chameleon Ti:Sapphire systems, or Axon 바카라 시스템배팅s serving as pump sources. All our OPOs are designed to be fully automated and allow convenient hands-free operation.
바카라 시스템배팅 Compact OPO(C-OPO) provides wavelength extension up to 1600 nm giving a combined gap-free tuning range of 680 – 1600 nm when used with Chameleon Ultra II or Vision II 바카라 시스템배팅 as a pump source. An idler option is also available to access wavelengths from 1750 – 4000 nm. The pump 바카라 시스템배팅 wavelength and OPO wavelength can be tuned independently, enabling two-color imaging or pump/probe applications.
바카라 시스템배팅 Compact OPO-VIS(C-OPO-VIS) is a unique wavelength extension module that provides independent pump and signal tuning and also adds visible and UV wavelengths via se바카라 시스템배팅nd harmonic 바카라 시스템배팅nversion of the Ti:Sapphire and OPO Signal beams. In this arrangement, a 바카라 시스템배팅mbined gap-free and highly flexible tuning range of 340 – 1600 nm is available. An optional further wavelength extension between 1750 – 4000 nm via the OPO Idler beam is available.
바카라 시스템배팅 MPX (MPX)extends the wavelength range of 바카라 시스템배팅 Ultra II or Vision II and is specifically designed and optimized for nonlinear imaging techniques with an added dispersion pre-compensation feature. Independently tunable pump and OPO Signal range of 1010 – 1340 nm offers dual beam excitation 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 regions of 1320 – 2000 nm (Signal) and 2170 – 5000 nm (Idler). This makes it an ideal OPO to extend the wavelength coverage of 바카라 시스템배팅 Discovery NX providing a versatile tool for spectroscopy, materials science, or microscopy applications. Levante IR fs OPO can also be pumped by our high-power Axon 1064 nm model. Even longer wavelengths up to 15 µm can be achieved when combining Levante OPO with additional accessories.
