Request InfoTOPTICA Photonics Inc.The FemtoFiber ultra series shares the advantages of TOPTICA’s previous ultrafast fiber laser generations. The systems are compact lasers that work reliable just after a push-button start. No water-cooling is required since a simple air-cooling is sufficient for a stable operation. These cost-effective and compact laser solutions provide femtosecond pulses with high average power with an excellent beam quality. They are great solution for applications in nonlinear microscopy like effective two-photon excitation of fluorescent proteins and SHG based contrast mechanisms.
