Introduction

Award-winning extreme power OPCPA systems

The Supernova OPCPA is our award-winning flagship product providing extreme power at extreme wavelengths.

The Supernova OPCPA offers extremely short pulse durations and average powers, high temporal contrast, different wavelength versions and CEP stability. The product is available as a high repetition rate version and also as a high energy version with multi millijoule pulse energies pumped by kW-class Yb:YAG Innoslab or thin-disk amplifiers.
