MgO:PPLN for Difference Frequency Generation
1064nm and tunable Ti-Sapphire for Mid-IR generation
Magnesium doped PPLN for Difference Frequency Generation (DFG) from a Nd:YAG laser and a tunable Ti-Sapphire (or similar) lasers, for mid-IR generation in the 2-4.5µm range. The output wavelength can be tuned with each PPLN grating by adjusting the input laser wavelength and varying the PPLN temperature.
DFG crystals are available in the following wavelengths:
All of our crystals are supplied clip-mounted, ready for use in our ovens and controller.

Temperature Controller
For high stability temperature control, the Covesion OC1 is a compact stand-alone bench-top unit for use with our PPLN oven range
PPLN Ovens
For fixed wavelength applications PPLN should be maintained at a constant operating temperature for maximum conversion efficiency. In tunable wavelength applications the temperature of the crystal can be adjusted for fine wavelength tuning.
