Cytométrie 2024 in beautiful Marseille
December 17th, 2024Enjoying the beautiful weather and flow cytometry innovation at the 27th annual Cytométrie congress. It's been amazing to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones in this stunning city.
A Week of Visionary Thinking
December 10th, 2024Innovation doesn’t happen by accident – it’s the result of intentional focus and collaboration. That’s why we took a break from daily tasks and spent a week in Neuruppin to rethink our internal processes and find ways to further enhance the quality and precision of our work. The result? New strategies that will power us into the future.
Spotlight on peakDetect
December 4th, 2024Revolutionizing Laser Monitoring Our peakDetect tool leverages the power of Two-Photon Absorption to continuously monitor laser performance during operation, such as in material processing. It's an essential solution for applications requiring precise control, particularly in medical fields, where even the smallest changes in laser performance must be detected instantly.New 3P peakDetect Version!By engineering peakDetect to utilize Three-Photon Absorption in our new 3P peakDetect version, you can achieve even greater non-linear sensitivity! This enhancement amplifies its responsiveness to subtle shifts...
See you at EQEP!
November 26th, 2024The countdown is on! This Thursday marks the start of the 10th International Workshop on Engineering of Quantum Emitter Properties (EQEP) at the Universität Innsbruck. Our colleague Matthias Baudisch will be at the APE exhibition booth, showcasing the APE picosecond excitation source for quantum dot single-photon and entangled photon generation.Product Link: https://www.ape-berlin.de/en/quantum-dot-single-photon-generation-source/ This unique conference on quantum systems brings together leading scientists and talented young researchers. Together we discuss exciting topics such as: 🔬 Light-matter interactions and nanospectroscopy 💡...
APE celebrates its birthday!
November 14th, 2024Exactly 32 years ago, APE was founded by Jan Popien, Edlef Buettner, and Thomas Lindemann. Together, they invented the first commercially available autocorrelator, making it possible to measure the shortest light pulses. We didn’t stop with our first product. Today, we offer over 30 products, from spectrometers to harmonic generators and from pulse compressors to quantum-dot single-photon sources.Here at APE, we’re incredibly proud of the meaningful impact we’ve made in science, working alongside the world’s leading laser manufacturers and top...
Did you know? Deeper Insight in Autocorrelation Measurements …
November 5th, 2024In their latest research, Torben Fiehler, Clara Saraceno, Günter Steinmeyer, and Ulrich Wittrock show in detail how you can prevent misinterpretations of autocorrelation measurements. Spectrally broad laser radiation from continuous wave (cw) lasers can produce second-order autocorrelation traces that closely resemble those of mode-locked lasers. By using the APE pulseCheck autocorrelator, the authors compared measured autocorrelations and calculations of a mode-locked Ti:Sa laser with a spectrally broad, monolithic cw Ti:Sa laser, devising a new method to safeguard against autocorrelation...
From Berlin to the World
October 29th, 2024Once again this year, we had the pleasure of welcoming our representatives from around the world to our headquarters in Berlin, Germany.Through a series of in-depth presentations and hands-on workshops led by our experts, we expanded our knowledge of ultrafast lasers.It was great to present our technologies on a personal level to deepen the understanding of ultrafast laser diagnostics, pulse management and laser conversion. We also discussed various applications and go-to-market strategies to strengthen our relationship for the long...
New Publication with APE’s Signal Processing Unit
October 14th, 2024Congratulations! We are pleased to announce the fresh publication of the paper, "Cell sorting based on pulse shapes from angle resolved detection of scattered light," in Communications Biology. This research, authored by Daniel Kage, Andrej Eirich, Kerstin Heinrich, Jenny Kirsch, Jan Popien, Alexander Wolf, Konrad v. Volkmann, Hyun-Dong Chang, and Toralf Kaiser, introduces an innovative flow cytometry technology that leverages scattered light for label-free cell analysis and sorting, offering a promising alternative to traditional fluorescence-based methods. The applied signal processing...
