Frequently Asked Questions

The PGx03 Series Optical Parametric Generator is a device designed to be pumped by 1 KHz mode-locked lasers with 1 w average power. It is an excellent choice for many spectroscopic applications due to its unique broad tunability range from 210 to 16000 nm.

The features of the PGx03 Series Optical Parametric Generator include picosecond pulses at 1 kHz pulse repetition rate, hands-free wavelength tuning, a tuning range from 210 nm to 16000 nm, narrow linewidth <6 cm⁻¹, low divergence <2 mrad, remote control via keypad, and PC control using USB (RS232 is optional) and LabVIEW™ drivers.

The available models of the PGx03 Series Optical Parametric Generator are PG403, PG503, and PG703.

The PG403 model has a tuning range from 410 to 2300 nm and is optimized for providing the 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 to 2300 nm.

The tuning range of the PG703 model is from 1400 to 4450 nm and with an optional Difference Frequency Generator (DFG) stage it can be extended to 16000 nm. It is targeted for infrared spectroscopy applications.
