HELIOS IR is a broadband mid-infrared pump-probe femtosecond Transient Absorption Spectrometer. A complete turnkey system, it can measure photoinduced absorbance changes across a broad (2-13 µm) spectral range with femtosecond time resolution over an 8 ns time window. With an EOS IR add-on, the HELIOS IR time window can be extended to sub-milliseconds at any time.
Key Features
- Automated alignment of the optical delay line.
- Supports computer-controlled translating sample holder.
- Supports pump beam shutter.
- Supports motorized filter wheel for automated pump intensity control.
- Saves every individual kinetic scan, so if the experiment is aborted (due to laser fluctuations, power outages, etc.) all previous scans are not lost.
- Threshold adjusted automatic probe intensity spike rejection – an advanced setting that collects data points again if the probe is not stable.
- Support for multiple choppers to facilitate customized experiments.
- API (Application Programming Interface) for EOS IR is provided for further experiment customization and integration with external applications.
