Picosecond laser picoEmerald FT

The picoEmerald FT picosecond laser from A.P.E. is a high-end light source with fast tuning and the ability to output two or three wavelengths at once. It is the ideal laser source for advanced microscopy and spectroscopy applications. It offers 100x faster tuning and 10x faster imaging compared to previous models, enabling highly sensitive and accurate measurements. Full automation, low noise and a wide wavelength range make it the perfect choice for CARS/SRS microscopy, Pump-Probe spectroscopy and other scientific experiments.
