OPO2200 – fully automated and supercompact optical parametric oscillator
- Fully automated operation and wavelength control with long-term stability of output parameters.
- Tuning range – from 415 (420) nm to 2300 nm.
- Original optical schematic and ultra-compact design with the ability to adapt the device to various pump lasers.
- Optical parametric oscillation in BBO crystal allows the CHAMELEON OPO2200 parametric generator to cover the broadest operational spectrum range from 420 to 2300 nm.
- Careful testing ad selection of BBO crystals ensures long-term reliable operation.
- The originally-designed intracavity optics and mechanical units allow avoidance of cavity misalignment.
The compact design allows to use OPO2200 in conjunction with other complex optical laser systems.
