Description
picoEmerald: Tunable Two-Color ps Light Source
The picoEmerald is a groundbreaking tunable two-color light source designed for advanced microscopy and spectroscopy applications, particularly Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) and Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS). This innovative system integrates seamlessly into both commercial and custom-built setups, offering researchers a sophisticated tool that delivers high precision and reliability. With its capability to provide perfect temporal and spatial overlap of exit beams, the picoEmerald ensures optimal performance in imaging and spectroscopic applications.
Uniquely, the picoEmerald combines two colors in one compact, turn-key system, making it ideal for CARS and SRS applications up to video-rate speeds. The system is tunable between 700 to 1950 nm, with an energy difference ranging from 400 to 9000 cm-1. This flexibility allows researchers to tailor the light source to their specific experimental needs. The system emits 2 ps pulses with a spectral width of 10 cm-1, providing the precision required for detailed spectroscopic analysis.
Fully automated and computer-controlled, picoEmerald offers an extremely low-noise operation compared to traditional all-fiber laser systems. This makes it particularly suitable for long-term experiments where stability and consistency are crucial. The system's active and passive stabilization features further enhance its performance, ensuring that researchers can rely on it for extended periods without the need for constant adjustments.
In the realm of microscopy and spectroscopy, the picoEmerald stands out as a user-friendly, hands-off solution that simplifies complex procedures. Its integration of a laser oscillator with OPO Signal and Idler beams in a single-box design streamlines the experimental setup, allowing researchers to focus on their work rather than the intricacies of their equipment. This system is a testament to APE's commitment to advancing scientific research by providing cutting-edge tools that enhance both precision and ease of use.
