Record Specs
TOPTICA presents a new version of its successful time-domain terahertz (TD-THz) platform TeraFlash pro. The latest system generation, “TeraFlash pro / Dual”, not only improves the bandwidth and dynamic range further, but also enables simultaneous operation of up to two emitter-receiver pairs. Owing to an enhanced laser concept, users take benefit of even better terahertz signals: The system achieves a peak dynamic range greater than 100 dB, and a bandwidth of more than 6 THz. The “dual” version enables simultaneous measurements in transmission and reflection, or terahertz spectroscopy with orthogonal polarizations. Alternatively, users may choose to connect just one antenna pair and take advantage of the additional femtosecond-laser output for…

Focus on your research – Simplifying light microscopy
The FemtoFiber ultra 920 at an output wavelength of 920 nm is ideally suited for the two-photon excitation of common fluorophores like GFP, eGFP, Eosin, GCaMP, CFP, Calcein or Venus. In 2-photon microscopy, peak-power is brightness! If you care for the best image brightness, you need short pulses, high power, and most importantly a clean temporal pulse shape. With more than sufficient output power, shortest pulses, and our unique Clean-Pulse Technology, the FemtoFiber ultra 920 features the highest relative peak power and enables unmatched brightness in 2-photon microscopy without unwanted heating of the sample. With its robust and compact design, the FemtoFiber ultra 920 is an easy to operate and…

Setting up a simple and cost-efficient 2-photon microscope for neuroscience
In this webinar, Max Eisele, Ph.D., will give an introduction to two-photon microscopy and highlight the potential of multiphoton excitation as compared to the standard fluorescence microscopy technology. Learn about the benefits of two-photon microscopy, learn about a simple two-photon microscope design, and see how easy and quick it is to set up a dedicated two-photon microscope. Use-case examples will be presented that highlight the benefits of two-photon microscopy for deep-tissue and in vivo imaging. After this basic introduction, Max Eisele will guide attendees through the setup of a simple and cost-efficient microscope, including a selection of suitable microscopy platforms, as well as an overview on suitable light sources for…

Optical Parametric Oscillator for High resolution Molecular Spectroscopy
The DLC TOPO is the widest tuning, narrowest linewidth CW OPO. Remote control of all tuning actuators enables hands-free operation over 2500 – 6900 cm-1 without realignment or optics exchanges. The TOPO is the only choice for high-resolution molecular spectroscopy of stretch vibrations. MIR spectroscopy has never been easier. The powerful TOPO delivers wide tunability, narrow linewidth, and convenient hands-free digital control. There are no modules to exchange and no adjustments to be made by hand. Ease of use and reliable performance make this CW OPO the right choice for challenging applications in MIR spectroscopy and quantum optics. The revolutionary TOPO by TOPTICA stands alone as the only fully automated,…

Happy Birthday Frequency Comb!
20 years ago Nobel laureate Jan Hall and coworkers published a seminal paper1, in which they first reported on the stabilization of the carrier-envelope phase of the pulses of a femtosecond mode-locked laser. With the Difference Frequency Comb DFC, TOPTICA has taken the next step. Using difference-frequency generation (DFG), the carrier-envelope phase is now stabilized for each pulse individually with an intrinsic locking bandwidth identical to the repetition rate of 200 MHz. The result is an unprecedented low level of carrier-envelope phase noise of only 135 mrad integrated from 70 mHz to 40 MHz. The DFG process is key for achieving such high-end performance. It also delivers a new level…
