Newport’s wavelength extension unit (WEU) is a turn key solution for various spectroscopy and microscopy applications. This device can be easily integrated with ultrafast light sources to perform CARS spectroscopy and CARS microscopy. It can also be integrated with two-photon microscopes to add CARS modality to enhance the imaging capabilities of microscopes.
This wavelength extension unit uses a photonic crystal fiber to generate a broadband supercontinuum light source that can be used as the probe beam in pump probe spectroscopy, Stokes beam in CARS, etc., depending upon the application. The high performance optical and optomechanical components make this device robust and stable.
