Discover a selection of the almost endless list of application fields below.

OCT

OCT, or Optical Coherence Tomography, is a groundbreaking imaging technology that produces high-resolution, 3D images in a non-destructive, non-contact manner. As one of the most fascination photonics applications, its benefits are widely recognized as a go-to technique for tissue imaging and is popular in ophthalmology where it has revolutionized eye diagnostics. In dermatology OCT it is the preferred technique to improve the resolution and depth range in skin imaging, which helps in diagnosing conditions like skin cancer.

However, OCT’s potential extends well beyond medical or healthcare applications. This versatile technology is increasingly applied across various industrial sectors, offering a powerful, non-invasive and non-contact solution for 3D subsurface structure imaging needs in quality control, materials inspection, and process monitoring.

Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy is a powerful technique that detects the transmission or reflection of light at different frequencies through the sample. The missing light that is absorbed in the material can then be found, yielding a “unique fingerprint” of the material.
SuperLight Photonic’s wideband laser sources are of high value for spectroscopy as the noise-free ‘coherent’ laser light can yield a high-quality detected signal, reducing the time needed for detection. The high-brightness collimated beam coming out of the laser also helps to reduce detection time as the detectors do not have to wait for photons for the reading.
Moreover, our device enables 2D scanning microscopy, where full spatial (cross sectional) spectroscopic data can be collected due to the high-brightness and focusability of the beam. As opposed to current standard spectroscopic data that only provides a global average of what the material is. The ability to tailor the laser output to specific spectral regions is essential for fine-tuning spectroscopic experiments and obtaining accurate data.
The SuperLight Photonics products provide state-of-the-art supercontinuum lasers that are reliable, compact, portable, and suitable for both laboratory and field use.

THG & TAS

THG third harmonic surface imaging and transient absorption spectroscopy.
Third harmonic surface imaging is an advanced microscopy technique to create high-resolution images of biological samples. It relies on the interaction between intense laser light and a sample's nonlinear properties, resulting in the emission of light at three times the frequency (or triple the energy) of the incoming photons. This emitted third harmonic signal is then detected and used to form images.
This imaging method provides superior resolution and contrast, making it especially useful in visualizing biological structures like cell membranes and collagen fibers without the need for fluorescent labels.
The technique is especially powerful in forming high-contrast images of surfaces and detecting possible defects.

Transient absorption spectroscopy is a powerful technique used in chemistry and physics to study ultrafast processes in molecules and materials. It involves shining a short and intense laser pulse at a sample, which briefly "excites" the sample, promoting electrons to higher energy states. Subsequently, another, weaker laser pulse probes the sample to measure how it absorbs or transmits light at different time delays after the initial pulse. By analyzing these changes in absorption over time, researchers can gain insights into processes like chemical reactions, energy transfer, and molecular dynamics.
Usually, physical and chemical processes of interest, such as phase changes, crystal lattice changes and chemical reactions, require 10’s of femtosecond resolutions - a requirement that directly translates to the
probe pulses duration. SLP-1000 outputs ultrafast pulses of 20 fs, offering unprecedent resolution in a compact and light weight form factor, whereby making TAS accessible to high tech industries such as pharmaceuticals, material fabrication and others, where the TAS method is invaluable for understanding the dynamics of molecules and materials at the most fundamental levels.
