This family of fully integrated, computer-controlled femtosecond optical parametric amplifier (OPAs) extends the tuning capability of Coherent's kHz ultrafast amplifiers (e.g., Legend Elite and Libra) from 190 to 20,000 nm.

As the first unit of its kind, the OPerA Solo integrates all pump conditioning optics and wavelength extension options inside one enclosure. This makes the OPerA Solo a very compact and easy-to-use device. And, when used in combination with our new Legend Elite amplifier and Micra seed laser, the OPerA Solo system offers a unique, compact and reliable approach to high-performance ultrafast.

Overall, the system incorporates a whitelight-seeded pre-amplifier that's followed by a power amplifier (TOPAS* technology). This combination assures the highest levels of performance. Features include the following:

  • Fully integrated, 1-box system
  • Computer-controlled tuning
  • Whitelight-seeded pre-amp for lowest noise
  • Fresh pump configuration for optimum spatial, temporal and spectral mixing performance
  • Models for <130 fs and <40 fs
  • Standard options for 240 to 20,000 nm tuning
  • Compatible with Legend, Legend Elite and Libra amplifiers
