Chalmers tekniska högskola Femtosecond laser system

Femtosecond laser system

Chalmers Tekniska Högskola Aktiebolag, Göteborg

The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering is procuring a scientific grade femtosecond laser to be used in pump-probe spectroscopy. Our current femtosecond system uses a Spectra Physics Spitfire regenerative amplifier integrated with two optical parameteric amplifiers (OPA) operating at 1 kHz and giving ~100 fs pulses tunable from 260 nm to 2600 nm.

A femtosecond laser system is aimed at opening up possibilities for studying ultrafast phenomena on a nanoscale – a topic of intense contemporary research that is also of high interest for the division of Bionanophotonics at Chalmers. Such a laser system is prioritized by the division leaders and is expected to act as a strategic investment for the division. It is also of high interest for the Departments of Physics, MC2 and Chemistry at Chalmers University of Technology.

Introduction

This procurement is made on behalf of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry, at Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden.

The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering is procuring a scientific grade Femtosecond laser to be used in pump-probe spectroscopy. Our current femtosecond system uses a Spectra Physics Spitfire regenerative amplifier integrated with two optical parameteric amplifiers (OPA) operating at 1 kHz and giving ~100 fs pulses tunable from 260 nm to 2600 nm.

The new laser system should be used in similar experiments and have upgraded performance. One of the two existing OPAs must be integrated with the new amplified laser system; the existing TOPAS White is a "NOPA" and specifications (pump conditions and expected output) are given in Appendix 1. The scientific needs are key to this tender but documented serviceability is as important. The possibility to get quick and competent on-site service of the purchased equipment will be strongly weighted in the procurement.
