The next generation ultrafast amplifier
The venteon OPCPA is an exceptional ultrafast amplifier, which delivers few-cycle, multi-µJ level pulses without additional nonlinear compression. As industry experts in ultrafast technology, we have created the only commercial ultrafast amplifier on the market that combines unique few-cycle pulse duration <8 fs, µJ level energy and a high repetition rate of up to 4 [...]OPCPA – An explanation and an animation
Laser pulse amplification has for a long time relied upon multi-pass concepts through inverted gain media with limited bandwidth. This concept allows high energy pulses, but due to band narrowing effects and thermal load, the pulses have a long duration and low repetition rates. Optical parametric chirped pulsed amplification has the advantage of a single [...]March 8th, 2017 | Applications, Top Stories
Quantitative analysis of gases
Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique with numerous analytical applications. Our recent whitepaper ‘Quantitative laser Raman spectroscopy of gases’, looks at how Raman systems can be used to measure gas mixture compositions with high measurement precision, sensitivity and trueness. It discusses how the gem 532, finesse 532 and opus 532 can be used as the [...]March 8th, 2017 | Applications, Company News
Product of the month: venteon OPCPA
The first commercial Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplifier (OPCPA) system provides a unique combination of a few-cycle pulse duration of <8 fs, with energy in the µJ-regime at a high repetition rate of 200 kHz or higher. The excellent output stability and the ability for CEP stabilisation turns this amplifier system into the ideal source [...]February 2nd, 2017 | Applications, Company News
1 GHz Laser Quantum laser and finesse pure CEP used to create a frequency comb
Recently published work by Brigham Young University, Utah, USA, has been conducted using Laser Quantum’s 1 GHz laser (gigajet) alongside its finesse pure CEP laser to create a frequency comb. Frequency combs are instrumental to precise laser frequency measurements and have led to giant steps forward in research in applications including; metrology, atomic clocks, laser [...]January 31st, 2017 | Applications, Company News
Stimulated Raman scattering in laser technology
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is a third-order nonlinear optical effect that is used in laser technology either to shift the wavelength emission of a laser (‘Raman laser’) or to provide optical amplification of an input beam (‘Raman amplifier’). Since the early 2000s, Raman amplifiers have been widely used in optical fibres for telecom applications, such [...]January 27th, 2017 | Applications, Company News
Using the ventus in Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy (LTRS)
Unfortunately, one in two people born after 1960 in the UK will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime. Typical large-scale analysis of cancer cells means individual cell attributes are averaged and, therefore, single cell detection is of real interest. The current process involves individual analysis of manually trapped cells which is [...]January 23rd, 2017 | Applications, Company News
