Optical Parametric Oscillator
AMS Technologies AGRequest Info
The 17OPO-1-50 S Optical Parametric Oscillator from AMS Technologies AG generates short laser pulses for applications in the field of photoacoustic imaging.
The devices are based on nonlinear crystals in an optical resonator. By changing the temperature of the nonlinear crystal, the wavelength of the emitted laser pulses can be tuned in the range from 1700 to 1750 nm. This makes the laser system particularly suitable for cardiovascular diagnoses using photoacoustic imaging, since arterial plaque typically has an absorption maximum at 1725 nm.
