An Optical Parametric Oscillator for Organic Photonic Materials

Abstract

This report is to certify that we have acquired a Spectra Physics femtosecond Optical Parametric Oscillator OPAL - 1.5 that delivers pulses at a wavelength that is tunable from 1.35 to 1.6 urn, for the amount of $65,000. The OPAL was installed in November 2001 and has been running properly since then. This acquisition provided us with the femtosecond laser source needed to conduct research on organic photonic materials for telecommunications and displays.
