Phocus BENCHTOP

Based on the Ring-Cavity optical parametric oscillator (OPO) technology, the Phocus BENCHTOP represents the optimal light source for photoacoustic imaging applications that require high pulse energies and NIR wavelengths for deep penetration of biological tissue. High damage thresholds combined with minimal maintenance and turn-key operation reduce system down-time and allow ease of operation. A customizable, safety-interlocked fiber bundle delivers light from the system to the instrumentation and prevents system operation without fiber attachment. Motorized tuning, motorized harmonics and fiber bundle delivery provide a completely, hands-free tunable laser system.
