Class 5 Photonics GmbH

Class 5 Photonics moved to a new office and lab space. We are very happy to be now at the Start-Up Labs Bahrenfeld (slb.hamburg) just next to the DESY campus.

The new office and lab space will allow us to grow even further and is a perfect enviornment for young high-tech companies.

A new microscopy approach developed by the Vaziri Lab at Rockefeller University takes the next steps for high-speed, volumetric recording of neuroactivity in the mouse cortex. The developed so called Light Beads Microscopy (LBM) is a mesoscopic imaging approach able to record up to 1 million neurons within 5.4×6×0.5 mm^3 volumes at 2 Hz frame rate.
Hence, the technology can enable neuroscientists to understand cortex-wide information processing and ultimately how the brain works.

Measurements have been performed with the White Dwarf OPCPA for 3-photon microscopy. Further reading

The Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI ALPS) in Szeged, Hungary and Class 5 Photonics have signed a research and development contract for the new Mid-Infrared High-Energy (MIR-HE) laser and attosecond beamline (MIR-HE ATTO) at ELI ALPS.

ELI ALPS is a research facility providing cutting-edge laser systems and secondary sources for worldwide users. The focus of the institution is on so-called attosecond light pulses, an extreme form of laser light with two remarkable properties: These light pulses have a wavelength typically in the extreme ultraviolet region from 10 - 100 nm, thus allowing observations of nanometer scale objects. Further, the short light flashes have such extraordinarily short duration that even the motion of electrons can be captured (1 attosecond = 0.000000000000000001 seconds). Further reading
