Tunable Optical Components for Wavelength Tuning and Laser Pulse-Shaping
Caliper Life Sciences offers an award-winning portfolio of Liquid Crystal Tunable Filters (LCTFs) and Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) for researchers and engineers in need of robust, solid-state tunable optical imaging and laser modulation solutions. All components feature superior optical quality and the Cambridge Research & Instrumentation, Inc. (CRi) 25-year reputation for excellence in design, manufacturing, and intuitive operation.
Liquid Crystal (LC) technology is not only used in our own Nuance™ EX, Nuance™ FX, TRIO™, Vectra™ , and Maestro™ imaging systems, but also in thousands of other instruments distributed by our OEM partners in other industries.
- VariSpec™ Filters – Tune electronically for exact wavelength selection throughout the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum.
- Micro*Color™ and Macro*Color™ Filters – These tunable RGB filters create exquisite color images from high-resolution grayscale digital cameras
- Spatial Light Modulators – Designed for ultrafast laser experiments, our SLMs modulate amplitude and/or phase with 12-bit 128- or 640-pixel LC optical masks
