Description
Travelling Wave Optical Parametric Generators (TWOPG) are an excellent choice for researchers who need an ultra‑fast tunable coherent light source from UV to mid IR.
DESIGN
The units can be divided into several functional modules:
- optical parametric generator (OPG);
- diffraction grating based linewidth narrowing system (LNS);
- optical parametric amplifier (OPA);
- electronic control unit.
The purpose of the OPG module is to generate parametric superfluores-cence (PS). Spectral properties of the PS are determined by the properties of a nonlinear crystal and usually vary with the generated wavelength.
In order to produce narrowband radiation, the output from OPG is narrowed by LNS down to 6 cm⁻¹ and then used to seed OPA.
Output wavelength tuning is achieved by changing the angle of the nonlinear crystal(s) and grating. To ensure exceptional wavelength reproducibility, computerized control unit driven precise stepper motors rotate the nonlinear crystals and diffraction grating. Nonlinear crystal temperature stabilization ensures long‑term stability of the output radiation wavelength.
In order to protect nonlinear crystals from damage, the pump pulse energy is monitored by built-in photodetectors, and the control unit produces an alert signal when pump pulse energy exceeds the preset value.
For customer convenience the system can be controlled through its USB type PC interface (RS232 is optional) with LabView™ drivers or remote control pad. Both options allow easy control of system settings.

- Due to continuous improvement, all specifications are subject to change without notice. Parameters marked typical are not specifications. They are indications of typical performance and will vary with each unit we manufacture. Unless stated otherwise, all specifications are measured at 450 nm for PG401 units, 3000 nm for PG501 units and 300 nm for PG401SH units and for basic system without options.
- See tuning curves for typical pulse energies at other wavelengths. Higher energies are available, please contact Ekspla for more details.
- Beam diameter is measured at the 1/e² level.
- Full angle measured at the FWHM point.
- If a pump laser other than PL2250 or PL2230 is used, measured beam profile data should be presented when ordering.
- Should be specified if non-EKSPLA pump laser is used.
Note: Laser must be connected to the mains electricity all the time. If there will be no mains electricity for longer that 1 hour then laser (system) needs warm up for a few hours before switching on.
Customized for Specific Requirements
Please note that these products are custom solutions tailored for specific applications or specific requirements.
PG401-DFG1 PROVIDES:
- The broadest hands-free tuning range – from 420 to 10000 nm
- It can be further extended up to 16000 nm with -DFG2 option. It should be noted, that for the 8000 – 16000 nm range a different nonlinear crystal is used, and exchange of the crystals needs to be done manually
PG402 FEATURES:
- Gap-free tuning range 410 – 709, 710 – 2300 nm
- Linewidth < 18 cm-1
Tuning Curves
Note: The energy tuning curves are affected by air absorption due narrow linewidth. These pictures present pulse energies where air absorption is negligible.
