TUNABLE, PULSED THz OPO

  • An integrated pump laser with sealed maintenance-free laser head and novel optical parametric oscillator providing widely tunable, high power output.
 /

A high brightness practical alternative for generating terahertz laser light. Firefly THz is compact, efficient and convenient with its integrated pump laser, sealed maintenance-free laser head, and novel optical parametric oscillator design that produces widely tunable, high power THz output. With automated tuning, a readily collimated output beam, microwatt average powers, and Watt-level peak powers.

HIGH BRIGHTNESS

Firefly THz provides greater sensitivity and standoff distance for remote sensing and spectroscopy.

PULSED NANOSECOND OUTPUT

This removes the need for post-detection Fourier transform data processing.

WIDE TUNING

Widely tunable, narrow linewidth output enables broad, fast THz wavelength scans from a single unit.

EXCEPTIONAL BEAM QUALITY

Gaussian and symmetrical THz output is ideal for imaging systems and spectroscopic applications.

PRECISE WAVELENGTH CONTROL

Option to integrate with a wavemeter for precise control of THz wavelength.


FULLY AUTOMATED

Easy THz selection, pre-set THz values and optimisation of OPO & pump mirrors via a web interface or via a published set of TCP/IP controls, facilitating automated control and option to use third party applications such as LabVIEW and MATLAB.

Output pulse energy >9 nj @ 50 Hz
Tuning range 0.8 - >2.5 THz
Pulse repetition rate 50 Hz (fixed)
Pulse duration <30 ns (FWHM)
Linewidth <50 GHz (typical)
Beam quality Near diffraction-limited

TRUSTED BY THE WORLDS’ LEADING UNIVERSITIES
AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS

M Squared’s lasers are both remarkable in their performance and beautiful in their design. They have enabled my Group’s research over the last decade and will continue to transform many areas of science and technology.
