TOPO smart
High performance CW OPO
- Probe molecular vibrations, economically
- Optimized for spectroscopy from 2600 - 3500 nm
- Narrow linewidth and fine tuning across O-H, N-H, C-H vibrations
- Hands-free, digital control
The TOPO smart is a continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator which uses a novel pumping scheme to reduce size and cost relative to typical CW OPOs. It fills a price and capability gap in the mid-IR between low power, narrowly tunable interband cascade lasers, and high power, widely tunable CW OPOs like the TOPO.
In applications like molecular spectroscopy, quantum technology, mid-IR integrated photonics, and mid-IR interferometry, researchers often have a particular target molecule, atom, or device in mind and they need only moderate tuning and power. The TOPO smart is designed to fit the needs, and the budget, of these experiments.

Options
Fiber Delivery
Fiber Delivery (FD) is optionally available with TOPTICA's patented fiber coupler FiberDock and a suitable polarization maintaining (PM) fiber. FiberDock provides highest single-mode fiber coupling efficiencies, easy alignment and at the same time highest stability.
For most lasers, we specify a PER behind fiber of >20 dB with our Fiber Delivery option. Please also inquire about Long Life and High Power fibers as well as fiber splitters. Optical isolation is mandatory for fiber coupled diode laser systems.Laser Locking Electronics A broad variety of electronic locking modules is available for frequency stabilization. -
