Exiting research alert!

January 18th, 2026

Measurement of optically induced broken time‑reversal symmetry in atomically thin crystals.Did you know that it is now possible to directly observe the optically induced time-reversal symmetry breaking in monolayer and bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide crystals?The latest Nature Photonics publication “Measurement of optically induced broken time-reversal symmetry in atomically thin crystals” demonstrates exactly this. By measuring the third-harmonic Faraday rotation as a function of polarization and input power, the authors quantify how spin, valley, and layer couplings give rise to...

CARS and SRS Microscopy with picoEmerald FT

January 17th, 2026

Coherent 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...

Why make it complicated when it can be simple?

January 6th, 2026

Did you know that many of our devices can be fully controlled remotely? This saves time, makes automation possible, and offers maximum flexibility – whether on a laptop nearby, on your phone from home, or even via your smartwatch. The images show how easy it is to operate a pulseCheck on a smartphone: -         set the scan range, -         adjust tuning and sensitivity, -         average if necessary-         find the right fit and your pulse duration is precisely determined. ✅With our devices, you have...
