The Chameleon Vision-S ultrafast laser from Coherent Inc. is used
for multiphoton imaging and combines 80-fs pulse widths with high average power
and a long wavelength tuning range. It delivers more than 410 kW of usable peak
power, after group velocity dispersion (GVD) precompensation, and hands-free tuning
from 690 to 1050 nm. The blend of short pulse widths and high average power translates
into high precompensated peak power from a one-box laser. The laser is suitable
for multiphoton excitation imaging. Its high peak power delivers maximum imaging
brightness in deeper tissues and, because it is a true one-box laser with the laser
oscillator and GVD precompensator integrated on a single baseplate, it also provides
good beam pointing stability of 80 μrad per 100 nm of tuning.
