Argos SF

The Argos™ Model 2400-SF is a unique single-frequency, continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator (OPO) designed for nIR/midIR spectroscopy.
Lockheed Martin Aculight (Bothell, USA) develops and manufactures this unique system.

Interchangeable, pre-aligned, wavelength-converter modules generate any idler wavelength from 2.3 - 3.9µm, optionally up to 4.6µm.
The Argos provides mode-hop free continuous scanning over a broad spectral range.

The device also produces up to 5 Watt of single-frequency, signal wavelength output from 1.4 - 2.0µm.
Two different models are offered, providing different output power levels.

  • cw Operation Mode
      
  • Broad wavelength coverage range (1,46-1,98µm [signal] & 2,3-3,9µm [idler]; optionally up to 4,6µm)
      
  • High output power levels in signal and idler
      
  • Single Frequency operation / very narrow linewidth / (<1MHz/1sec., <60kHz/500µs)
         
  • wide mode-hop-free continuous scanning (50GHz)
     
  • broad tuning range (up to 800cm-1 per module)
      
  • Interfaces for various wavelength tuning opportunities
      
  • Plug & Play OPO wavelength converter modules
      
  • Robust fiber laser pump source
    (5W @ 1064nm or 15W @ 1064nm)
