Our service aims to design and develop tailored photon-pair light sources to be integrated in different microscopic platforms. The photon-pair are generated via spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) that will propagate through a non-linear induced coherence interferometer to be able to illuminate and detect at two distinct wavelength ranges. The MIR light sources can be integrated to different microscopy platforms, such as wide-field or scanning microscopy in which the Mid-IR photon probes the sample, and the VIS is detected either by a camera or a single-pixel detector. Currently the photons spam a spectral range of 2400 – 4000 nm at MIR wavelength, and 450 – 460 nm at the VIS wavelength. Depending on the applications, these ranges can be easily shift and tune by utilizing different crystals such as ppKTP, ppLN, AGS, and LGS, or by selecting a specific poling period or temperature.
