SURELITE TM OPO FEATURES & BENEFITS
Hermetically sealed oscillator
protects the nonlinear
crystal from damage
An idler-resonant oscillator
for better beam quality
Requires no injection seeder
Simple layout allows for
quick setup and easy access
for adjustments and maintenance
TUNABLE OPO
The Surelite TM OPO is ideal for moderate resolution
applications, and offers versatility and convenience
in an economical package.
Efficiency through simplicity. The Surelite TM OPO’s
simple, single stage design yields a high conversion
efficiency. The Surelite TM OPO was designed for optimum
performance when pumped by the Surelite TM I
or II Nd:YAG laser systems. The Surelite TM laser and
OPO system combination delivers optimized longterm
and worry-free operation. The Surelite TM OPO’s
design is not compromised by the requirement to
be upgradable to a master oscillator and power
amplifier system at a later date. Optimizing techniques,
such as double-pass pumping, orienting
optics to take maximum advantage of the polarization
properties of the pump and resonated waves,
and using Type I phase-matching BBO all help to
produce efficient parametric gain.
Specifications when pumped with 160 mJ at 355
nm from Surelite TM II and when pumped with 100 mJ
at 355 nm from Surelite TM I, Q-switched Nd:YAG
lasers.
Specifications subject to change without notice.

PC CONTROL OPTION
The PC Control option gives the Surelite TM OPO push button
technology via a simple Windows ® software package.
The link between the laser and instrumentation equipment
is critical to computer-based measurement and
automation. The PC control option allows the user to
automate scanning while controlling all scan parameters.
Users can also select the motor driver option for basic
scanning applications.
