Amplified Ultrafast Laser System for Scientific Research
Authority: University of Bristol (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe University of Bristol School of Chemistry is looking to procure an amplified ultrafast laser system for use in studies of photochemical dynamics.
The laser should consist of an ultrafast oscillator and an amplifier, in a one-box design for optimum stability of operation in our laboratory. Sufficient power output is required to pump two existing optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs), operating with 800-nm pump wavelengths, to generate ultraviolet and mid-infrared laser beams at a laser pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz.
