Footnotes:
The Mai Tai® DeepSee™ Ti:Sapphire oscillator with our patented automated dispersion compensation1 has been specifically optimized for use in multiphoton microscopy. The Mai Tai DeepSee laser delivers the industry’s highest peak power to the sample thus maximizing the fluorescence signal. In addition, it offers over 2.4 W of average power and 350 nm (690-1040 nm) in useable tuning range.
The Mai Tai DeepSee oscillator’s reliability is maintained through the ultra-stable regenerative mode locking technique developed by Spectra-Physics. With hands free, drop-out free wavelength tuning, excitation profiles can be quickly collected with just the click of a mouse. StabiLok® real-time monitoring technology also enhances system reliability by providing excellent beam pointing stability and minimal average power fluctuations, as well as eliminating wavelength drift. These two features make the Mai Tai DeepSee oscillator the most reliable and most versatile hands-free laser currently on the market.
With the Mai Tai DeepSee oscillator, deeper penetration depths can be achieved without the risk of sample
damage from increased average powers. When ultrafast laser pulses are transmitted through optical materials (i.e. windows, lenses, and nonlinear crystals), the added dispersion broadens the pulse. This pulse broadening has a negative affect on the fluorescence signal obtained. The Mai Tai DeepSee option corrects in advance for the optical setup dispersion through pre-compensation, which maximizes the observed fluorescence signals. Sample damage could prevent the average power from being increased. For these cases, high peak power is the most effective way to increase the fluorescence.
To verify and analyze the output power of your Mai Tai DeepSee laser, we recommend the Ophir 3A (7Z02621) thermal power sensor and Centauri laser power meter. Additional information on this laser measurement equipment can be found on the ophiropt.com website. Other Ophir sensors and meters may also be suitable for the Mai Tai DeepSee, depending on application. Ophir also works with laser system developers to achieve embedded beam diagnostics to monitor system performance as an OEM solution.
