Interferometry Interferometry refers to a wide range of techniques that rely on the superimposition of two coherent light paths, most often split from a single source, to form an interference pattern. Lasers for Interferometry This interference arises
read moreFlow Cytometry Flow cytometry is a method for the quantitative determination of cellular properties, analysing light incident on a focussed stream of fluid containing a heterogenous population of biological samples. Lasers for Flow Cytometry Cells, or other particles, are individually passed through a light path at high speed while suspended in a tightly focussed stream of fluid, causing an energy

With power up to 30W, the innovative Jasper Flex is intended for systems with volume constraints that require high laser power and outstanding pulse quality. The Jasper Flex is a smaller version of the Jasper laser, which was the first all-fiber high-power laser built using SESAM-free technology. This ground-breaki
