About this file

This document presents detailed technical requirements for a Tunable Laser Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) system. The system specifications demand a fully automated picosecond laser light source with precise technical capabilities, including temporally and spatially overlapped pump and Stokes pulse trains covering the full Raman fingerprint region. Key technical requirements include shot noise limited stimulated Raman scattering microscopy performance, pulse width of 2-5 ps, spectral bandwidth of 10 cm-1 or better, OPO signal tunable from 700-990 nm, and OPO idler tunable from 1080-1950 nm.

The system must also include an integrated electrical-optical modulator at 20 MHz, an additional 1032-1064 nm output with over 5W power at 80 MHz, and integrated optics for second harmonic generation producing frequency-doubled pulses at 80 MHz with over 800 mW average power. Field service requirements mandate that the vendor have a field service technician for installation, training, and system servicing, and provide a minimum one-year warranty. The primary applications for this system are stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and producing squeezed light, with stringent performance specifications to ensure high-precision scientific research capabilities.

Tunable Laser Optical Parametric Oscillator Requirements

DESCRIPTION

Fully automated picosecond laser light source with temporally and spatially overlapped pump and Stokes pulse trains, with a tunable optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that covers the full Raman fingerprint region. This system will be used for stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and for producing squeezed light.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

- Must be capable of shot noise limited stimulated Raman scattering microscopy.

- Must be fully automated and all components must be integrated into a single system.

- The pump and Stokes pulse trains must have perfect temporal and spatial overlap.

- The energy difference between the pump and stokes must cover the entire Raman fingerprint region (400 cm-1 to greater than 3000 cm-1).

- Must be capable of stimulated Raman scattering microscopy up to video rate speed.

- The spectral bandwidth of the picosecond pulses must be 10 cm-1 or better.

- Pulse width must be 2-5 ps.

- OPO signal must be tunable from 700-990 nm.

- OPO idler must be tunable from 1080-1950 nm.

- The power of the OPO signal beam must be greater than 700 mW at 800 nm.

- The power of the OPO idler beam must be greater than 400 mW at > 1200 nm.

- The OPO signal beam must be shot-noise limited at 20 MHz.

- Must include an integrated electrical-optical modulator with a modulation frequency of 20 MHz.

- Must include an additional 1032-1064 nm output (with power greater than 5 W) and 80 MHz repetition rate that is synchronized to the primary OPO output.

- Must include integrated optics for second harmonic generation to produce frequency-doubled

1032-1064 nm (516-532 nm) pulses at 80 MHz, with an average power of greater than 800 mW.

- The M2 should be less than or equal to 1.2.

FIELD SERVICE, INSTALLATION, AND TRAINING

- The vendor must have a field service technician on staff to perform the installation, training, and to service the system.

- The vendor must provide a warranty on the system for at least one year.
