Optical Parametric Oscillator

Ultrafast lasers have become more relevant in the different areas of life sciences and the demand is rising for compact easy-to-use devices. Due to that APE offers a new product line. The Chameleon OPO (Optical Parametric Oscillator) is the first completely alignment free, fully automated and computer controlled OPO, which shows highest flexibility in pump- and OPO output wavelengths at the same time.

Significant advantages for microscopy are:

• a higher penetration depth and lower sample damage for excitation wavelengths >1 µm,
• multimodality of the system gaining access to alternative imaging methods like coherent Raman (CARS/SRS) and SHG/THG in addition to MPE.
