Light Conversion's CRONUS-3P laser source has been recognized as the Silver Honoree by Laser Focus World Innovator’s Awards. The honorees were chosen by a distinguished panel of judges from the optics and photonics community.
The new fully integrated version of CRONUS-3P represents a next-generation turn-key solution for multiphoton microscopy that is even more compact, more reliable, and more versatile. It offers tunable femtosecond output with integrated group delay dispersion (GDD) control to ensure optimal pulse duration at the sample. Its industrial-grade design guarantees high pulse-to-pulse energy and long-term power stability [1].
According to Mantvydas Mikulis, the product manager of CRONUS lasers, CRONUS-3P boasts several unique features tailored for the precise customer demands:
- Wavelength tunability to access both 1300 nm and 1700 nm
- Integrated dispersion compensation for optimal pulse duration at sample
- Integrated beam steering and beam size control
- Market-leading output stability and beam quality
- Simple integration and user-friendly automated control
Dr. Lukas Kontenis, R&D engineer and application specialist, noted, “With its compact and turn-key design, the CRONUS-3P empowers researchers in the field of multiphoton microscopy, providing a hassle-free pathway to experiments and unlocking new insights and discoveries in the fascinating world of imaging.”
Furthermore, CRONUS-3P capabilities extend beyond imaging, as demonstrated by Danielius Samsonas, who not only led the mechanical engineering team during the design and build phase but also utilized it experimentally in multiphoton polymerization [2, 3].
Stay tuned for more exciting developments!
