The ultimate measurement and control tool for ultrafast laser oscillators and hollow-fiber compressors.
d-scan is an inline, compact and high-performance device for the simultaneous measurement and compression of even the most demanding ultrafast pulses. It can be used as a standalone system or integrated with existing optical pulse compressors. It handles broadband oscillators, amplifiers, OPAs and hollow-fiber compressors.
Coupling your beam into the d-scan is easily achieved in less than one minute and a full measurement takes less than 10 seconds. The resulting d-scan traces are very intuitive and a proprietary algorithm provides fast and accurate retrieval of the full electric field of the pulses.
Highlights
- Few-cycle Ti:Sapphire oscillator measured at 5.5 ± 0.1 fs (FWHM)
- Single-cycle hollow-fiber compressor down to 2.5 fs (1.3 cycles at 700 nm)
- Patent No. US20140321486 A1
- Vacuum-compatible systems available on request
