Cycle GmbH

SOPRANO – the latest femtosecond laser of Cycle GmbH – is the ideal solution for various multiphoton imaging techniques. Especially with two wavelength options at 1,350 and 1,700 nm as well as pulse durations below 100 fs, it is particularly suitable for multiphoton microscopy (MPM). For example, deep-tissue 3-photon excitation fluorescence imaging (3PEF) of green/red fluorescent protein (GFP/RFP) within the biological transmission windows at 1,350 nm and 1,700 nm using only a single laser source. 

• Wavelength at 1560 nm (frequency doubling to 780 nm optional)
• Pulse energy up to 5 μJ
• Repetition rates 1 MHz to 30 MHz fixed (tunable optional)
• Pulse duration below 300 fs

SOPRANO – the latest femtosecond laser of Cycle GmbH – is the ideal solution for various applications. For example, for Material Processing of Silica it is the optimal tool for an attractive price. 

• More than 0.2 mV/fs sensitivity
• Lower than 0.5 fs noise floor
• Down to 20 fs RMS timing jitter

The fully-automated BOMPD precisely detects the time delay between an optical pulse train, and the zero-crossings of a microwave signal. It generates a baseband signal that is proportional to the timing error between the two inputs, which in turn can be used in a phase locked loop configuration to tightly synchronize a laser to a microwave source or vice versa.

The fully automated TCBOC precisely detects the relative time jitter between two independent optical pulse trains with different center wavelengths (two-color option). It is a natural extension to Cycle’s well-known and patented (one-color) BOC which is used for sub-femtosecond fiber link stabilization over kilometer distances.

• more than 10 mv/fs sensitivity
• lower than 0.5 fs noise floor
• down to 10 fs RMS timing jitter and timing drift
