It is well known in the Photonics industry and academia that searching through online or print published sources for photo-physical characteristics of multi-photon absorbing (MPA) materials can be a tedious, time consuming and expensive process. Imagine a task of finding an MPA material with the largest known absorption coefficient absorbing light within a desired wavelength range. It can take hours, if not days, to find such a material, and possibly extra days to verify the search.
Simphotek's MPA Info+ is the world's first, comprehensive, searchable database containing detailed photo-physical properties of over 1,000 multi-photon absorber molecules. Its main purpose is to help experimentalists, photo-physics or photo-chemist researchers, and medical investigators to quickly and easily find optimal MPA materials with desired photo-physical characteristics, cross-referenced to the recent publications.
Professionals using MPA in fields such as biomedical imaging, confocal microscopy, micro- and nano-lithography, 3D optical data storage, light-induced drug delivery, STED microscopy, Photo dynamic therapy (PDT), laser protection, and a host of other photonics applications, will benefit from using Simphotek's MPA Info+ material database on a regular basis.

You do not stop after you find the best material for your application with MPA Info+. With our SimphoSOFT® simulation software you can accurately model, analyze in depth and optimize the found material. Not only can you validate the material performance according to the published results and measurements, but you can also improve the performance of the material by tweaking some of the geometric parameters, molecular concentration etc. You are minutes away from testing and validating new materials – not days or weeks. |
