PRESS RELEASE
Date: 30th
January 2017
Title: The first commercial OPCPA system
Visit Laser Quantum #311 at Photonics West to find out more
Stockport: The first commercial Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplifier (OPCPA)
system has been created by Laser Quantum. This system combines few-cycle pulse
duration <8 fs, µJ level energy and a high repetition rate of hundreds of kilohertz to
several MHz. This unique light source from the venteon OPCPA can enhance
applications benefiting from high photon flux, high intensity, broad bandwidth and
ultrashort pulse duration. The venteon OPCPA is particularly useful for; High Harmonic
Generation and XUV Spectroscopy, Surface Science, COLTRIMS, Nonlinear
Applications or Spectroscopy Methods.
Also being exhibited at Photonics West this year is the taccor comb, our first ever 1
GHz frequency comb! An extension to the existing successful taccor range, the taccor

2. comb is our newly launched 1 GHz turn-key Ti:Sapphire frequency comb with
exceptional supercontinuum typically 1 µW per mode and easy access to VIS and NIR
ranges. Alongside the comb on our ultrafast table will be; the taccor x10, a turn-key
femtosecond laser with a 10 GHz repetition rate; the venteon ultra, producer of the
shortest available pulse, <5 fs; and the HASSP-THz, a fully configured time-domain
THz spectrometer. Our ultrafast range is relevant to a vast range of applications,
including; Metrology and Frequency Combs, ASynchronous Optical Sampling (ASOPS)
and High Harmonic Generation.
Our instantly recognisable, illuminated Q’s will be displaying our range of continuous
wave products renowned for their robust and reliability characteristics, recently
highlighted in our gem vs. video series available on our website. Some CW lasers on
display include; the ventus, available in a wide variety of wavelengths, 473 – 1064 nm,
and the finesse, a high powered laser with an exceptional beam quality.
We look forward to welcoming new and existing customers to the booth #311
throughout both BiOS and Photonics West, between 30 January and 2 February 2017.
