Novanta ASOPS Engine: Ultra-Precise Femtosecond Spectroscopy System with 1 GHz Repetition and <60 fs Time Resolution
Description
The Novanta ASOPS Engine is a state-of-the-art femtosecond spectroscopy system, specifically designed for high-speed, high-precision applications. Featuring a dual laser setup with options for 1 GHz or 84 MHz repetition rates, this system sets new standards in time-domain spectroscopy by delivering unprecedented time resolutions of less than 60 fs for the 1 GHz model and below 100 fs for the 84 MHz model.
Central to the ASOPS Engine's performance is its advanced master-slave configuration, which allows for the synchronization of two femtosecond lasers with a precise offset in their repetition rates. This unique setup enables continuous and automated variation of the time delay between the pump and probe pulses, eliminating the need for mechanical delay lines and significantly reducing the complexity and time required for setup and measurements.
The system is equipped with the TL-1000 ASOPS electronic unit, which stabilizes the repetition rate of the slave laser, providing a stable and consistent performance even at the high offset frequencies required for ultrafast spectroscopy. This capability is essential for applications such as two-dimensional thickness measurements, where sub-nanometer resolution is crucial.
Moreover, the ASOPS Engine supports a wide range of scientific and industrial applications, from studying ultrafast phenomena in materials science to precision metrology in engineering. Its robust design and comprehensive software integration, including the HASSP-Scope software for data acquisition and analysis, make it a turn-key solution for researchers seeking reliable and accurate time-resolved measurements.
