Description
**Levante IR: Advanced Tunable Optical Parametric Oscillator** The Levante IR is an innovative synchronously pumped Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) designed for precision and versatility. It features a user-friendly design that seamlessly integrates with mode-locked lasers, which have an output wavelength of 1 µm, making them suitable as pump lasers. The Levante IR's output wavelength ranges from approximately 1300 nm to 5000 nm, offering a broad spectrum for various scientific and industrial applications. Available in both picosecond and femtosecond versions, this tunable IR OPO ensures a jitter-free and stable repetition rate that matches the pump laser's repetition rate. **Streamlined Control and Automation** All models of the Levante IR come equipped with an intuitive control software that facilitates real-time data display.
The standard software interface, based on TCP/IP and developed by APE, simplifies remote control setup. This feature allows users to create automated measurement routines effortlessly, utilizing protocol templates compatible with popular programming languages such as C++, C#, LabVIEW, Python, Matlab, and Ruby.
The automated wavelength tuning further enhances user convenience, ensuring precise control over the IR wavelength range. **Extended Wavelength Capabilities** The Levante IR offers an extensive wavelength range for its Signal beam, spanning from 1315 nm to 2000 nm, and for its Idler output, ranging from 2150 nm to 5000 nm. This makes it ideal for applications requiring tunable radiation in the IR spectrum, such as vibrational spectroscopy. When operated in conjunction with APE's HarmoniXX series, the Levante IR can generate an extended wavelength range from 660 nm to 15 μm. This expansion is achieved through various wavelength converters, including Second Harmonic Generation (SHG), Third Harmonic Generation (THG), and Difference Frequency Generation (DFG), offering unparalleled flexibility for advanced research and development.
