Utilizing many years of experience in thedevelopment and production of tunablewavelength, high energy lasers, EKSPLA introduced

PhotoSonus series laser sources, which weredesigned to be used in advanced photoacoustic

imaging systems. These laser sources have a wide

wavelength range of 660 – 2300 nm, up to 250 mJ ofmobile

pulse energy and the capability of fiber coupling of theoutput beam. This makes them a perfect choice for any

photoacoustic imaging system for irradiating different tissues

and a range of other materials.

Flash-lamp pumped PhotoSonus M laser systems combine apump laser, OPO and power supply unit into a single mobile cart

unit. Having the highest pulse energy of up to 250 mJ this is aperfect laser source for pre-clinical photoacoustic research equipment.
Diode-pumped PhotoSonus X is a low maintenance, high repetition rate

(up to 100 Hz) and low noise laser system. Combining an optional internalenergy meter and electromechanical shutter with laser self-test capability,

this laser is certification-ready for both pre-clinical and clinical use.

A unique, fast-wavelength switching option enables each laser pulse to havea different wavelength in almost any sequence. This could be very useful while

tracking changes in molecular properties within a short time period.

laser systems can be used in research labs as a standalone OPO system as well as anirradiation source for photoacoustic imaging systems.
