Feasibility of supercontinuum sources for use in glucose sensing by absorption spectroscopy
Diabetes mellitus 1 requires tight control of the blood glucose levels to avoid harmful effects of either too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia) blood sugar. Due to the availability of low-cost components, fiber-coupled near infrared (NIR) absorption spectroscopy could be a feasible measurement method…

Multichannel Optical Detector for Time-Resolved Spectroscopy
As part of our work towards time-resolved measurements of solvated electron concentrations at the plasma/water interface, we are developing a multi-channel, fast photodiode detector. Our measurement is based on the work of Rumbach, et al. (2015), who measured solvated electron concentration using total internal reflection absorption spectroscopy (TIRAS). We extend their technique using a pulsed supercontinuum laser (FYLA Iceblink) to probe the absorption spectrum of solvated electrons at the plasma-water interface in a stroboscopic manner…

Iceblink PRO FAQs
What Is FYLA Iceblink Pro with Variable Frequency, and How Does It Differ from Standard Supercontinuum Fiber Lasers?
FYLA Iceblink Pro is a variable‑frequency supercontinuum laser covering 410 to 2300 nm. Unlike fixed‑repetition‑rate systems, it integrates pulse picking that allows repetition rates from 40 MHz down to 500 kHz, enabling precise temporal control for time‑sensitive optical techniques.
Why Is FYLA Iceblink Pro with Variable Frequency Suitable for Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM)?
FLIM requires controlled excitation timing to accurately resolve fluorescence decay lifetimes. FYLA Iceblink Pro provides:
- Tunable repetition rates down to 500 kHz
- High power stability (≤ 0.5 % std. dev.)
- Broad spectral excitation from VIS to NIR
Can FYLA Iceblink PRO with Variable Frequency be used for Time-correlated Single-photon Counting (TCSPC)?
Yes. FYLA Iceblink Pro is specifically suited for TCSPC applications thanks to its controllable pulse repetition rate and stable pulse output. Adjusting the repetition rate allows users to match the laser excitation to detector and electronics dead times, improving photon statistics and avoiding pile‑up effects.
How does FYLA Iceblink PRO with Variable Frequency Compare to Lamps, LEDs, and Single-line lasers?
Compared to traditional lamps, LEDs, or single-wavelength lasers, Iceblink Pro offers:
- Higher brightness and spatial coherence
- Continuous broadband spectrum
- Precise temporal control via pulse picking
This makes it a single-source alternative to multiple discrete emitters, improving experimental flexibility and repeatability in advanced optical setups.
What Applications Benefit Most from FYLA Iceblink Pro Supercontinuum Fiber Laser with Variable Frequency?
FYLA Iceblink Pro is particularly well-suited for:
- Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)
- Time-resolved spectroscopy
- TCSPC and lifetime measurements
- FRET imaging
- Optical characterization of materials and devices
These applications benefit directly from the combination of broadband emission and variable repetition rate.
What are the Main Optical Characteristics of the FYLA Iceblink Pro with Variable Frequency?
Key characteristics of FYLA Iceblink PRO SC Fiber Laser include:
- Spectral range: 410–2300 nm
- Average power: ≥ 2 W @ 40 MHz
- Pulse duration: ≤ 10 ps at 1060 nm (≤ 250 ps full spectrum)
- Power stability: ≤ 0.5 % (std. dev.)
- Single-mode spatial quality (M² ≤ 1.2)
These features ensure stable, reproducible illumination for demanding scientific experiments.
How does FYLA Boreal Tunable Filter complement FYLA Iceblink Pro Supercontinuum Fiber Laser with Variable Frequency?
When precise wavelength selection is required, FYLA Iceblink Pro can be combined with FYLA Boreal tunable VIS or NIR filters, enabling narrowband excitation from the broadband supercontinuum output. This combination allows users to maintain temporal control while selecting exact excitation wavelengths for spectroscopy or bioimaging applications.
