K2-OPO is a powerful ultralow noise turn-key fixed-wavelength optical parametric oscillator. The output wavelength can be defined at the factory allowing to serve wide range of applications throughout the infrared. K2-OPO emits femtosecond pulses at 1 GHz repetition rate with a dual-comb option. This light source is ideal for multi-species gas sensing, time-resolved spectroscopy, nonlinear microscopy and reaction kinetics studies.
