OCTOPUS Laser Systems

Coherent Mira F900D

OCTOPUS offers the following laser sources:

• Two Femtosecond Near infra red (NIR) Titanium sapphire (Coherent Mira F900D) lasers pumped by a 18W 532nm Verdi laser. - This allows us to tune from 690-1050 nm with more than 1.2W across the whole tuning range. The NIR wavelength can be frequency doubled, through a BBO crystal to give wavelengths of 345-530 nm. The laser can be made to operate in both femtosecond and picosecond mode. An OPO (APE-Coherent) allows tunability from 225nm to 675nm.
  
  
• Coherent Mira OPO and Inrad 5-050 Ultrafast SHG/THG. - Allows tuning from 520-640 and 400-500 nm. Maximum output powers of 408 mW at 545 nm and 107 mW at 440 nm. 200 and 100 fs pulses at repetition rate of 76 MHz.
  
  
• Range of smaller laser systems - Including two Fianium Supercontinuum Fibre Lasers and a range of CW laser systems for multicolour excitation in confocal and single molecule microscopes
