Fluorescence imaging systems are composed of three major components, an illumination source, a photo-activated fluorophore sample, and detector.

The short pulse durations of ultrafast lasers make them interact with optical components differently, impacting the optic’s laser damage threshold.

The industry standard method for quantifying reflectivity does not tell the whole story

Testing laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) is not standardized, so understanding how your optics were tested is critical for predicting performance.
