VisUV

VisUV is a versatile high-power UV to visible picosecond laser that delivers clean, short pulses and stable timing across key wavelengths including deep-UV lines as well as 488 nm and 532 nm. Any wavelength is available individually or in combination with one or two other wavelengths. Built on a master oscillator fiber amplifier (MOFA) architecture, it provides < 85 ps pulse widths with exceptional beam quality (M² down to 1.02), enabling precise excitation and efficient fluorescence generation. The available repetition rates range from single shot to 80 megahertz and support a smooth adaptation to a wide variety of spectroscopy and microscopy workflows. Designed for demanding UV excitation, multicolor configurations and time-resolved measurements, VisUV offers reliable high-quality performance in a compact stand-alone platform. 

Wide-field microscopy is increasingly used for fast, parallel imaging of large fields of view in both life and materials science. Visible picosecond excitation at 488 nm and 560 nm provides efficient fluorophore excitation while maintaining low phototoxicity and high temporal precision. This makes these wavelengths particularly well suited for wide-field fluorescence imaging, including time-resolved and lifetime-based approaches.

For VisUV, a fiber coupled output is available, supporting both single mode and multi-mode fibers. Typical efficiencies are above 60 % in single mode and above 80 % in multi-mode. Each configuration is aligned in-house to ensure a clean and dependable beam at the fiber exit.
