Argos™ Orange Model 2400 SF Series
Tunable Single-frequency Visible Spectroscopic Source
Innovative Technology. Proven Results.
Aculight’s Argos Orange is no exception. As one of the industry’s leading laser development
centers, Lockheed Martin Aculight is recognized around the world for its robust, reliable and innovative
lasers. The Argos Orange single-frequency, continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator is designed
for visible wavelength spectroscopy and operates at room temperature with up to three watts of orange/
red light continuously tunable over a range of 604 nm to 692 nm.
Specifications
Enabling Technology
Argos Orange is interchangeable with the existing Argos SFseries infrared wavelength converter modules, which can provide
wavelengths from 1.4 μm to 4.6 μm. The Argos provides modehop-free continuous scanning over a 100 GHz range. Four
standard modules are offered covering the 604 nm to 692 nm
visible range. Wavelengths up to 800 nm can also be provided on
a custom basis.
