Scanning autocorrelators are not suitable for single-pulse duration measurements of lasers given that obtaining an autocorrelation curve requires many pulses. To perform single-pulse autocorrelation, the wavefront of the incident beam is divided into two identical copies that cross and overlap in a nonlinear crystal to produce a second harmonic signal, the autocorrelation trace, that is imaged onto a sensor to provide a spatially resolved measurement of the pulse.
Femto Easy has integrated this principle into the world’s smallest autocorrelator, the μ-ROC, that provides immediate results on single-pulse measurements thanks to being nearly alignment free and due to its robust design with no moving parts. The μ-ROC can be used in tight spaces or can be easily integrated into other instruments with high space constraints. It can be set up in under one minute by just plugging in the USB cable, opening the software, and simply reading the pulse duration information. With the Femto Easy μ-ROC, IT IS THAT EASY!
The μ-ROC comes with a user-friendly and powerful software that has been highly optimized to retrieve pulse duration information in real time. See the μ-ROC in action below. You can see that once the algorithm locks into the pulse, the software provides robust real-time results even when alignment is still happening!
μ-ROC key features:
- Yb or Ti:Sa wavelengths
- Ultra compact and easy to align, can be handled just as a simple camera
- Robust design, no moving parts. Non sensitive to vibrations
- Directly powered by the USB cable, no power supply required
- Suitable for any repetition rate
- User-friendly and powerful software
- REST API for standard software integration using simple HTTP requests
