Description
A dual-output packaged laser solution that operates as a ‘turn key’ system. This would combine a fixed wavelength beam to act as a Stokes beam, and a tunable laser beam that covers the biological Raman spectrum range when combined with the Stokes beam, all housed in one box requiring little specialist knowledge to run, as well as offering a small footprint and help with health and safety requirements. This will form part of a multimodal imaging platform which is designed to complement our work on Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) microscopy.
