Lasers and the Emerging Field of Optogenetics
Laserglow and Optogenetics - 473nm blue and 594nm yellow DPSS laser modules - fiber coupling available
The ability to control the activation of small groups of neurons with great precision has been a dream of neuroscientists for a very
long time. A new technique known as "optogenetics" (developed by Karl Deisseroth's team at Stanford University) allows for very selective activation of neurons by insertion of a gene into the target
cells which encodes for sensitivity to certain wavelengths of light. Using a laser as the stimulation light source provides a controlled
wavelength and pulsing behavior, and having fiber optics attached to the laser module allows for a convenient method of delivering the
light to a selected target site. Laserglow's blue and yellow laser modules are currently being used for optogenetics research in
several leading laboratories, as we can provide the neccessary wavelengths with options such as enhanced power stability, low noise
amplitude, power adjustment and controllable pulse frequency/duty cycle. Our customers keep coming back for multiple lasers because we
offer quality lasers at a highly competitive price, so you can worry about your experiments rather than your lab budget.
Some of our most popular lasers which are currently being used for optogenetics research are listed below:
LRS-473 series: Blue 473 nm, 1-800 mW
LRS-594 series: Yellow 593.5 nm, 1-500 mW
LLS-473 series: Blue 473 nm, 1-150 mW, low noise amplitude
LLS-594 series: Yellow 593.5 nm, 1-800 mW, low noise amplitude
Fiber coupling to FC/PC or SMA connectors is available upon request. Other customizations may be available, so please contact us to
request a quote or additional information. |
