AURORA-IR
Mid-Infrared Tunable Femtosecond OPA

Covers a wide range from near-infrared to long-wave infrared

Offers high energy and high power models

Supports up to 80W of pump power

Capable of delivering up to 2mJ of pump pulse energy

Wavelength tuning range: 1350 nm - 16μm

The AURORA-IR femtosecond optical parametric amplifier is designed for the mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum (1350-16000nm), offering tunable femtosecond pulse output. Compared to the AURORA series, it provides higher conversion efficiency of pump laser to the MIR range.
The AURORA-IR series offers similar tuning ranges with easy usability and reliability. AURORA-IR-HP supports up to 80W pump power, while AURORA-IR-HE is compatible with up to 2mJ single-pulse energy. It works with standard Yb femtosecond lasers and features a pump energy range of 10μJ to 2mJ, with a pulse width range of 100fs to 1.5ps. Customers can achieve precise wavelength tuning with one-click adjustment and customize the system according to their needs.
