Levante ultrafast optical parametric oscillators (OPOs)

Newly designed Levante ultrafast optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) are picosecond and femtosecond OPOs from APE. With fully automated control, the Levante is perfect for key applications such as coherent Raman spectroscopy (CARS and SRS), multiphoton microscopy, quantum dot excitation and transient absorption microscopy (TAM).
