B-Shot — Single-Shot Ultrafast Pulse Temporal Measurement
Design Tools
Real-time temporal measurement of your ultrafast laser system.
The b-shot is a compact, user-friendly system for measuring ultrafast laser pulses across a broad range of repetition rates — single-shot up to 100 kHz, with > 20 Hz save rate of spectral data, pulse width and electric field.
Ideal for MPC broadening / compression tuning, Ti:Sapphire amplifiers, OPCPA, and post-compressor characterization.
