 Testimonials
			 
				Dr. Jack C. Gartside 
				Assistant Professor
				Imperial College London
			
				 
				In our Nanomagnetism & Nanophotonics Research Groups at Imperial, we have requirements for compact, power efficient, cost-effective and ultimately powerful & flexible pulse lasers - which were very challenging to meet all at once with a single device. 
				
 
				
				
				We have been exceptionally impressed with the hardware, customer service, and value for money provided by Picophotonics products. The level of control, power, and pulse durations offered at a competitive pricepoint is extremely impressive - we have found roles for Picophotonics pulse lasers in all-optical nanomagnetic switching experiments, neuromorphic photonic neural networks, and a variety of other diverse & demanding nanoscale experimental avenues.
					
Picophotonics Team has been very helpful, creative, and we have already recommended their laser products to several collaborators who are also very happy with their purchase.
					
				Customer laser was  CP32 - 532 nm MOPA laser with external TTL trigger in and single pulse feature.
