It allows simple switching between free-space and fiber-coupled outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this flexibility, researchers can use the same laser for multiple applications, including detailed studies of neural circuits and cellular activity deep within live tissues. The Axon FL delivers clean femtosecond pulses through standard FC\/PC connectors and features high-contrast power control and dynamic group delay dispersion (GDD) tuning for precise optimisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers working with Mini2P microscopy, which is gaining popularity for brain imaging in freely moving animals, can now easily integrate fibre delivery without needing a complete system upgrade. The Axon FL is sold as an add-on, making it a cost-effective choice for existing users. Its strong compatibility and precision alignment set a new performance standard for fibre-coupled lasers in neuroscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the key features of the&nbsp; Axon FL include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fibre coupling module for Axon 920 TPC femtosecond laser<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switching between free-space and fiber-coupled outputs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Works with Mini2P microscopy setups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Femtosecond pulse delivery through FC\/PC connectors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power control for output adjustment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Group delay dispersion (GDD) tuning for pulse shaping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alignment for integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sold as an add-on for upgrades<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compatible with systems in neuroscience research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Axon FL unlocks a new level of flexibility for labs already using the Axon 920 TPC,\u201d said Dr. Chris Dorman, Executive Vice President of Lasers Business Group at Coherent. \u201cIts modular design, precision alignment, and cost-effective upgrade path offer unmatched convenience and performance for Mini2P users.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fibre module enables one laser to work with both free-space and fibre setups, allowing researchers to study brain activity in living tissues using Mini2P systems.
