FemtoFiber ultra 1050

Femtosecond fiber laser
In two-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. The FemtoFiber ultra 1050 features the highest peak power available on the market and hence enables unmatched image brightness.
Additionally, software-controlled dispersion precompensation (GDD) and an integrated AOM for power modulation, make the system extremely user-friendly.
TOPTICA's robust & reliable fiber laser technology significantly reduces the cost of ownership of your laser systems.
The FemtoFiber ultra 1050 is ideally suited for the two-photon excitation of common fluorophores like mCherry, Propidium Iodide, tdTomato, eYFP, DsRed, mRFP or mOrange.

Your Benefits

Compact & Low cost of ownership
Saving table space with all-integrated robust fiber laser system.
Clean Pulse Technology
TOPTICA’s unique Clean Pulse Technology provides clean, pedestal-free pulses even after the fiber for best image brightness.

User-friendly GDD
Short pulses and software-controlled dispersion precompensation (GDD) for user-friendly handling TOPTICA’s FemtoFiber ultra provides motorized group delay dispersion (GDD) pre-compensation that can be controlled in software.  Due to chromatic dispersion, a femtosecond pulse stretches in time when transmitted through optical material in the microscope. GDD pre-compensation adds the opposite dispersion to circumvent this effect by cancelling it out. TOPTICA’s software-controllable GDD pre-compensation ensures short pulses at the sample plane with user-friendly, repeatable optimization of fluorescence signal strength via the graphical user-interface (GUI).
Fast power control
An integrated acousto-optic modulator (AOM) enables fast power-modulation and flyback blanking in synchronization with the beam scanner. This minimizes sample damage and photo-bleaching. Also, a fast electronic trigger output is available as reference for TCSPC in FLIM and gated detection.
For all important fluorophores
The FemtoFiber ultra 1050 is ideally suited for the two-photon excitation of common fluorophores like RFP, mCherry, Propidium Iodide, tdTomato, eYFP, DsRed, mOrange, auto-fluorescence or SHG-imaging.
