10 years TA pro – Tapered Amplifiers perfected
The TA pro is the flagship product of TOPTICA’s high power tunable diode laser solutions. Its tapered amplifier technology allows for high power with excellent beam quality, while at the same time maintaining the favorable spectral properties of the pro master laser. Tapered amplifiers have a 20 year long history at TOPTICA. In the beginning with the TA 100, then the TA pro in much advanced pro technology: a stable DL pro master laser, new chip mount with improved mechanical and thermal stability, specifically designed ultra-stable mirror mounts, and a stable housing machined from a solid metal block. The next evolution step was the introduction of the completely digital DLC…

Hybrid Photonic Integration Platform for Sensor Technology and Analytics
The Berlin Research Alliance develops optical mini chips made of plastic. Their combination with new waveguides made of silicon nitride is now to open up completely new applications for light in analysis and sensor technology. The basis for this is provided by the development of a wide wavelength range from 400nm to 1650nm and the interaction of polymer and silicon nitride-based optical waveguides in combination with the hybrid integration capability. The performance of the PolyChrome platform will be demonstrated on six demonstrators (e.g. for analytical procedures in the fields of environment and life sciences). The core competencies of the 12 partners from the RUBIN alliance PolyChrome cover the entire value…

Record Specs
TOPTICA presents a new version of its successful time-domain terahertz (TD-THz) platform TeraFlash pro. The latest system generation, “TeraFlash pro / Dual”, not only improves the bandwidth and dynamic range further, but also enables simultaneous operation of up to two emitter-receiver pairs. Owing to an enhanced laser concept, users take benefit of even better terahertz signals: The system achieves a peak dynamic range greater than 100 dB, and a bandwidth of more than 6 THz. The “dual” version enables simultaneous measurements in transmission and reflection, or terahertz spectroscopy with orthogonal polarizations. Alternatively, users may choose to connect just one antenna pair and take advantage of the additional femtosecond-laser output for…

Focus on your research – Simplifying light microscopy
The FemtoFiber ultra 920 at an output wavelength of 920 nm is ideally suited for the two-photon excitation of common fluorophores like GFP, eGFP, Eosin, GCaMP, CFP, Calcein or Venus. In 2-photon microscopy, peak-power is brightness! If you care for the best image brightness, you need short pulses, high power, and most importantly a clean temporal pulse shape. With more than sufficient output power, shortest pulses, and our unique Clean-Pulse Technology, the FemtoFiber ultra 920 features the highest relative peak power and enables unmatched brightness in 2-photon microscopy without unwanted heating of the sample. With its robust and compact design, the FemtoFiber ultra 920 is an easy to operate and…
