nnnnThe TOPAS Prime automated optical parametric amplifier (OPA) is a state-of-the-art
nnnnnstrument for wavelength extension of the Spitfire® Ace™ Ti:Sapphire amplifier system.
nnnnThe TOPAS Prime is entirely computer controlled which minimizes time adjusting the laser
nnnnsystem and maximizes experimental productivity. Wavelengths can be generated from the
nnnndeep UV range through the infrared (189-20000 nm) making TOPAS Prime the ideal
nnnnnstrument for numerous scientific applications.
nnnnThe TOPAS Prime utilizes several key features aimed at maximizing its usefulness and
nnnnefficiency. The fresh pump option provides more efficient sum frequency conversion with
nnnnmproved beam quality and with less optical noise. The TOPAS Prime will also accept larger
nnnnbeam diameters (-10.5 mm), eliminating the need for an external telescope. For higher energy
nnnnapplications, the TOPAS Prime Plus can accept pulse energies as high as 5 mJ
nnnnThe TOPAS Prime works best when pumped using the Spitfire Ace - the most advanced
nnnnregenerative amplifier available. The Spitfire Ace laser's patented XP cavity provides
nnnnsuperior beam quality for maximum efficiency from the TOPAS Prime. In addition, the
nnnnSpitfire Ace stability specifications provide the perfect solution for performing high energy
nnnnultrafast research.
