Powerful fiber lasers delivering up to 18 watt of average power at 1040 and 1070 nm with 140 fs and 55 fs pulses, respectively. Ideal for optogenetics, Two-Photon Polymerization studies, its built-in precompensation ensures optimum pulse duration also with complex microscope set-ups.
Microscopy and Spectroscopy with a Tunable Two-Color Source CARS and SRS microscopy have migrated from physics labs to life-science labs, so APE has responded withan easy-to-use and truly hands-off light source: picoEmerald. In a single-box, picoEmerald provides fully automated temporal- and spatial-overlapping ultra-short pulse trains: 1032 nm from the laser oscillator, plus the OPO Signal beam, and OPO Idler beam. Application: CARS & SRS microscopy, Quantum dots: excitation for single photons and entangled photons
Powerful fiber lasers delivering up to 18 watt of average power at 1040 and 1070 nm with 140 fs and 55 fs pulses, respectively. Ideal for optogenetics, Two-Photon Polymerization studies, its built-in precompensation ensures optimum pulse duration also with complex microscope set-ups.
The Mid-IR tunable broadband light source is fully automated and designed to be highly customizable to deliver turn-key solutions meeting your specific needs. The OPO delivers a signal and idler range of 1.32 µm to 4.8 µm and the DFG provides access to wavelengths up to 15 µm. The light source can be extended with additional devices, such as wavelength converters, pulse pickers or pulse slicers, to further enhance its capabilities in terms of wavelength range, repetition rate adjustment or spectral bandwidth narrowing
Continuously expanding series of harmonic generators, many different optical parametric oscillator configurations, pulse pickers, cavity dumpers, compressors, active pulse shaping, laser pulse and CEP stabilization.
NIR / IR OPO pumped at ~0.5 µm or ~ 1 µm. Femtosecond as well as picosecond version for various spectroscopy applications.
Pulse Picker
Changing the repetition rates Single Shot … ~40 MHz
Useful for lifetime measurements (FLIM, TCSPC, …)
Spectral Slicer
Narrows spectral bandwidth of broadband (fs) or narrowband (ps) laser, for various wavelength ranges and minimal bandwidth available
Application: Quantum dots: excitation for single photons and entangled photons
Dispersion compression and management – having shorter pulses on sample site
Application: Microscopy 2 Photon or 3 Photon
Cross sale possibility with Carpe (Microscopy autocorrelator, measure pulse width at laser exit and at sample site)
High precision optical delay
The delay is periodically controlled by a fast scanning shaker at a frequency of up to 20 Hz and a scanrange from fs up to 150 ps.
Application: time-resolved THz and pump-probe experiments
The CPC-II pule compressor accessory for Vitara is designed to deliver near transform-limited pulses at the target sample. The CPC-II achieves this by introducing continuously variable negative Group
Delay Dispersion (GDD/prechirp) to precisely compensate for normal dispersion of downstream optics
CPC 1040 is a pulse compressor for the 1040 nm output
from the Chameleon Discovery. It will ensure highest peak
power is delivered directly to the sample plane.
CPC 1040 incorporates negative dispersion mirrors that
add a stepwise, variable amount of Group Dispersion Delay
(GDD/pre-chirp) to the laser pulses.
The Synchrolock-AP is used to accurately synchronize two Mira or Vitara lasers together, or to synchronize a Mira or Vitara laser to an external RF source. Operating in the femtosecond or picosecond (Mira only) regime,
the Synchrolock-AP allows smooth wavelength tuning while keeping thelasers synchronized.
