Single-Sole Source Determination
Coherent’s line of OBIS lasers have a high degree of power stability with high quality optical mode output, which will produce higher fidelity data compared to more inexpensive laser types, while lasers with matched technical attributes from other vendors are generally significantly more expensive.

Background/Description of Requirement

Studying inter-regional neural interactions in learning and behaving animals requires optogenetic perturbations to causally probe the relationship between brain areas, which thus requires lasers to deliver light suitable to activating opsins in the brain.
