Flat-field spectrometer
A flat-field spectrometer for the XUV/EUV/soft x-ray spectral range offers direct source imaging in a compact, modular device. Signal strength is approximately a factor of 20 times higher than with slit-type systems. Applications include plasma and attosecond research, as well as fusion technology and extreme UV source calibration.

Dual-wavelength laser
The Chameleon Discovery high-power, dual-wave- length laser is designed for multiphoton excitation microscopy. It is continuously tunable from 680 to 1300 nm, with short pulsewidth (100 fs) and power up to 1.4 W, while simultaneously providing 1.5 W of output at 1040 nm. An internal, automated Group Velocity Dispersion (GVD) pre-compensator enables
the shortest possible pulsewidth at the sample.

Broadband supercontinuum laser
The Solea White supercontinuum laser emits between 480 and 700 nm from a polarization-maintaining singlemode fiber with a FC/PC connector. Average spectral output reaches more than 250 mW at a 40 MHz repetition rate, which corresponds to an average spectral density of 0.4 mW/nm. The laser can be externally triggered at any repetition rate between 1 and 40 MHz, permitting synchronization with other lasers for multicolor excitation schemes.
