Customer Application
The Research Group for Optical Technologies at the University of Münster in Germany is using an X-LSQ150B-E01 Series Zaber linear stage and an X-RSW60A Series Zaber rotary stage to experiment with ultrafast lasers. The linear stage has been mounted with a retro reflector, allowing adjustments to the optical path length to be made with high precision and repeatability. With this system, they are able to observe the nonlinear effects of two interacting laser pulses, similar to pump-probe experiments, like coherence Raman microscopy or the mode and frequency conversion in waveguides. The rotary stage has been mounted with a half-wave plate and a fixed polarizing beam splitter, which is an easy solution for automated control of the laser power.

About Research Group for Optical Technologies at the University of Münster, Germany
The Research Group for Optical Technologies is in the field of nonlinear and ultrafast optics. In particular, the group is interested in light conversion in integrated silicon nitride waveguides as well as imaging with chemically-selective microscopes. Research activities include the realization of an all-optical switch in waveguides, the control of modal amplitudes and phases in optical fibers, and a fast way for the polarization resolved detection of coherent Raman scattering.
