CrystaLaser, LLC is the most recognized cost effective choice at 473nm with regards to Rhodopsin stimulation for the past decade. Recent concerns over more precisely controlling the transition of the laser turning off and back on have made the CL473 less desirable. New technology has enabled CrystaLaser to offer a diode laser solution at 473nm as opposed to the DPSS version originally sold into this market. There are also other laser manufacturers that are now providing solutions specifically for optogenetics, some of these too are extremely reliable and cost effective. Depending on the specifics of your unique application, there are many factors to consider before selecting a laser, or in some cases, LEDs.

To make life simple, companies such as Doric Lenses and Thor Labs have developed optogenetic kits that include most of the optical components including the fiber ready cannulas. LEDs or lasers are provided; however, there may not be an ideal match with what is offered.
Our engineers have provided complete optogenetic solutions for tissue slice applications, in-vivo and multi-photon research for the past seven years. These solutions include the optical kits, lasers and data acquisition systems. Our engineers have also provided laser training during the annual optogenetic course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. They are among the top laser applications engineers in this field!
