Chromacity OPO
The Chromacity OPO provides high power, broad bandwidth and picosecond pulsed light which can be generated across the near and mid infrared. This means the laser is ideal for a wide range of applications including: stand-off detection, IR spectroscopy, FTIR techniques, chemical and breath analysis.
We also have a prototype high brightness mid-IR OPO that can access the molecular fingerprint region, where chemical signatures can be uniquely identified or ‘fingerprinted’.

Long-term Stability
Pump source is fully integrated into the OPO module thus eliminating the need for end-user alignment of input pump beam.
Improved reliability for repeat experiments.
High Power
High signal-to-noise ratio for spectroscopy experiments.
Reduces requirement for high end detection systems, especially over long open-air paths.
Ideal Wavelength
Near-IR OPO spans wavelengths that can be used to identify hydrocarbons & also covers telecoms wavelengths (and beyond).
Mid-IR OPO spans the fingerprint regime which can be used to identify volatile organic compounds.
