Sunlite™ EX OPO
Sunlite EX is a solid state alternative to dye lasers. It features wide tunability, a narrow linewidth, no tuning range gap at the degeneracy point, high energy, low oscillator threshold and ease of use. Its high performance results from its patented ExtRAordinary oscillator.
Features
- Narrow linewidth across the entire tuning range
- Widest tuning range with no degeneracy gap (445 -1750 nm )
- Narrow linewidth over entire visible tuning range ( < 0.075 cm¹˜ ) US Patent # 5,406,409
- Wavelength extension available: FX-1 (225.5 nm - 450 nm)
- Hermetically sealed, desiccated, and temperature stabilized crystal housings
- Intuitive computer control via Windows® operating platform with RS-232 interface
The FX-1 Frequency Extension option enhances Sunlite EX OPO performance in the UV. The Sunlite EX scans down to 450 nm, and the FX-1 seamlessly extends this range down to 225 nm, Ease of use, flexibility and high performance make the FX-1 the best choice for accessing the UV spectrum.
