Buying Supercontinuum Sources
Supercontinuum sources emit light with extremely broad optical spectra, operating either continuously or with high repetition rate pulse trains. Their high spatial coherence makes them valuable in applications such as optical coherence tomography, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and optical device characterization.
