The AURORA-IR femtosecond optical parametric amplifier is designed for the mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum (1350-16000nm), offering tunable femtosecond pulse output. Compared to the AURORA series, it provides higher conversion efficiency of pump laser to the MIR range. The AURORA-IR series offers similar tuning ranges with easy usability and reliability.

AURORA-IR-HP supports up to 80W pump power, while AURORA-IR-HE is compatible with up to 2mJ single-pulse energy. It works with standard Yb femtosecond lasers and features a pump energy range of 10μJ to 2mJ, with a pulse width range of 100fs to 1.5ps. Customers can achieve precise wavelength tuning with one-click adjustment and customize the system according to their needs.
