A tunable laser is a laser whose wavelength of operation can be altered in a controlled manner. While all laser gain media allow small shifts in output wavelength, only a few types of lasers allow continuous tuning over a significant wavelength range.
Tunable lasers using an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) are capable of producing continually tunable output wavelengths from 410 nm to 2300 nm, and with the addition of a second harmonic generation stage, the wavelength range can be extended down to 210 nm. Furthermore, the wavelength range for the new IR configuration is from 1380 nm to 4500 nm. Additionally, integral compact spectrometers for real-time monitoring of OPO output wavelength are available. These pulsed lasers provide a variable pulse repetition rate up to 100Hz, with a typical pulse width of 5ns and pulse energy or 5 mJ. With spectral linewidth, less than 6 wavenumbers, these compact, low power consumption tunable lasers are ideal for non-linear spectroscopy, photo-acoustic imaging, metrology, and remote sensing applications.
Our Pulsed Tunable Laser Products
RPMC Lasers offers a selection of tunable lasers including a pulsed DPSS laser that uses an Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) to produce tunable wavelengths in the 210/410 – 2300 nm range as well as an IR version producing wavelengths in the 1380 – 4500 nm range. Its advanced laser design results in a compact, user-friendly turnkey system that requires little maintenance. It integrates all laser electronics into the housing and there are no chillers or bulky power supplies needed.
We also provide several tunable, distributed feedback (DFB) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with wavelengths ranging from 11.3 µm to 16µm, designed for use in the detection and monitoring of critical, gaseous compounds in the industrial and nuclear industries.

Pick a Color, Any Color! Versatile, User-Friendly, Tunable OPO Laser
The Q-TUNE and Q-TUNE IR tunable DPSS lasers from Quantum Light Instruments have everything you need to enhance and simplify your spectroscopy application. For the standard Q-TUNE, a wide wavelength tunability range from 410-2300nm means you have all the wavelengths you need, easily accessible, for all your various application needs. An optional second harmonic generator extends this wavelength range down to 210nm. The Q-TUNE-IR provides a full range from 1380-4500nm, perfect for IR Spectroscopy & Spectrophotometry and other SWIR & MWIR applications. These time-tested, reliable OPO lasers have a guaranteed pump diode lifetime of over 2 giga-shots, providing long-term peace of mind.
The compact, turn-key design can save precious real estate and minimize the difficulty and burden of setup and operation. Just turn the key, set your operating parameters, and this water-free, air-cooled system is ready to go. The absence of a bulky chiller unit will save you even more space, time, money and effort, with an overall reduction in maintenance, lower total cost of ownership, and less downtime. A user-friendly web interface, gives you the freedom to control the laser remotely from any computer or smart phone browser without having to download or install software.
Furthermore, the networking ability allows for remote diagnostics and troubleshooting, should you ever run into a problem. The advanced, microprocessor-controlled operation allows for automated self-optimization, self-calibration, and hands-free wavelength tuning at the click of a button. So, you don’t have to be a laser expert to achieve peak performance and get superior results from your laser application.
