Footnotes:

  1. Due to our continuous product improvement program, specifications are subject to change without notice.
  2. When pumped with 40 µJ at 1040 nm. For other pump levels, please contact Spectra-Physics.
  3. Compressors for signal and/or idler are options.
  4. Spirit-NOPA pump parameters are determined at the time of order and are set at the factory.
  5. Spirit-NOPA is factory optimized for one pump pulse energy only.

Features

Compatible Power Sensors

To verify and analyze the output power of your Spirit-NOPA laser, we recommend the Ophir 3A-PF-12 (7Z02720) thermal power sensor and Centauri laser power meter.  Additional information on this laser measurement equipment can be found on the ophiropt.com website.  Other Ophir sensors and meters may also be suitable for the Spirit-NOPA, depending on application. Ophir also works with laser system developers to achieve embedded beam diagnostics to monitor system performance as an OEM solution.
