PGx11 series optical parametric generators employ advanced design concepts in order to produce broadly tunable picosecond pulses with nearly Fourier-transform limited linewidth and low divergence. High brightness output beams makes the PGx11 series units an excellent choice for advanced spectroscopy applications.
Three models for different kind of applications are available.
PG411 model has a tuning range of 420 nm to 2300 nm and is optimized for providing highest pulse energy in the visible part of the spectrum. When combined with an optional second harmonic generator (SHG), it offers the widest possible tuning range – from 210 nm to 2300 nm.
PG511 model has a tuning range of 725 nm to 2000 nm and highest pulse energy in near-IR spectral range. With an optional Difference Frequency Generator (DFG) stage, the tuning range can be extended into the 2 300 nm -10 000 nm range.
PG411 and PG511 models are designed to be pumped by PL2251 series lasers with a 10 Hz pulse repetition rate.
PG711 model has 1 kHz pulse repetition rate and uses DPSS mode-locked laser of the PL2210 series for pumping. When pumped with pulses of 90 ps duration, linewidths of less than 1 cm-1 were measured in the spectral range up to 16 000 nm, which makes this device an excellent choice for time-resolved or nonlinear infrared spectroscopy.
