Cost-efficient femtosecond laser and OPA
The ORIGAMI IRO is an advanced Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA) that provides widely tunable, multi-µJ fs pulses ranging from 210 nm to 11 µm.
Ideal for pump-probe spectroscopy and material characterization
It is designed for a diverse range of applications such as optical material & device characterization, femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, time-resolved spectroscopy and photoluminescence (TR3, TRPES, TRPL), photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectrometry (PEPICO), coherent anti-stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS), two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR), terahertz emission studies, and nonlinear microscopy.
Stable, reliable, and alignment-free
The ORIGAMI IRO is air-cooled and constructed with a sealed and monolithic case design. Couple it with the industry-leading pointing stability of the ORIGAMI pump laser to get long-term stability and maintenance-free operation.
It covers a wide wavelength range spanning as wide as 210 nm to 11 µm, while the integrated tuning makes automating experiments simple.
User-friendly by software and hardware design
No need for external beam routing or separation: The integrated tuning and automatic wavelength separation of the ORIGAMI IRO maintain the same beam position and pointing direction for all wavelengths.
Onboard laser diagnostics and data logging ensure optimal performance and easy troubleshooting. The integrated PC simplifies control in your lab.
