The TOPAS Prime automated optical parametric amplifier (OPA) is a state-of-the-art

nnnn

nstrument for wavelength extension of the Spitfire® Ace™ Ti:Sapphire amplifier system.

nnnn

The TOPAS Prime is entirely computer controlled which minimizes time adjusting the laser

nnnn

system and maximizes experimental productivity. Wavelengths can be generated from the

nnnn

deep UV range through the infrared (189-20000 nm) making TOPAS Prime the ideal

nnnn

nstrument for numerous scientific applications.

nnnn

The TOPAS Prime utilizes several key features aimed at maximizing its usefulness and

nnnn

efficiency. The fresh pump option provides more efficient sum frequency conversion with

nnnn

mproved beam quality and with less optical noise. The TOPAS Prime will also accept larger

nnnn

beam diameters (-10.5 mm), eliminating the need for an external telescope. For higher energy

nnnn

applications, the TOPAS Prime Plus can accept pulse energies as high as 5 mJ

nnnn

The TOPAS Prime works best when pumped using the Spitfire Ace - the most advanced

nnnn

regenerative amplifier available. The Spitfire Ace laser's patented XP cavity provides

nnnn

superior beam quality for maximum efficiency from the TOPAS Prime. In addition, the

nnnn

Spitfire Ace stability specifications provide the perfect solution for performing high energy

nnnn

ultrafast research.
