Collaboration with O/E Land for the development of compact tunable laser sources

Our collaboration between the university research team of INRS-EMT and the laser company O/E Land Inc. aims to develop a compact and user friendly prototype of a tunable nanosecond laser covering a tuning range of 100 nm (in the range of 700-800 nm), with the possibility to extend this range to several hundreds of nanometer in the medium term. This new laser will be based on optical parametric amplification and will be pumped by the nanosecond lasers O/E Land Inc. is producing. Combining the know-how of INRS-EMT in terms of optical parametric amplification with that of O/E Land about high average power fiber based lasers, the company's product palette will be enriched by a new flexible laser device that is of high relevance for all applications that require wide access range of wavelengths such as spectroscopy. At the same time the technical team of the international well-known user facility ALLS at INRS-EMT will strongly benefit from new insight about the fiber-based lasers of O/E Land.
