Introduction
ARGO MPC: High Efficiency Multi-Pass Cell Post-Compression for Yb Lasers
ARGO MPC is a non-linear pulse compression system with available pump laser integration. It achieves compression factors up to 10x, and pulse durations down to 30 fs with market-leading throughput. Wavelength conversion stages enable 515 nm and 343 nm outputs at short pulse durations. Our new Class 5 Bridge, an IoT-enabled modular control system, connects multiple ARGO units to build advanced pump-probe setups.
