CARS and SRS Microscopy with picoEmerald FT
January 17th, 2026Coherent Raman techniques such as CARS and SRS (Stimulated Raman Scattering) enable fast, label-free chemical imaging by directly addressing molecular vibrations. In practice, their successful implementation depends on tunable, ultra-low noise and precisely synchronized picosecond pulse pairs. At APE, we have focused on translating these requirements into an easy to use and fully integrated solid-state OPO-laser system: The 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗧. The picoEmerald FT is routinely used by our customers in CARS and SRS microscopy. Typical applications include lipid...
