The HYPUS ™ - HYPer Spectral Ultrafast Source
OPA-free wavelength tuning
The OPA-Free Advantage
Traditional optical parametric amplification relies on intricate stages, including white light generation and precise pump-signal timing. HYPUS technology bypasses these complexities for a more direct, robust, and efficient architecture for wavelength tuning.
Uncompromised Output
HYPUS architecture delivers six fully optically synchronized channels spanning
200 nm (UV) to >10 µm (mid-IR), featuring:
-
High Pulse Energy: >5 µJ per channel at extreme wavelength
-
Exceptional Synchronization: Extremely low shot-to-shot timing jitter (1.1 fs between channels 1 and 6).
