Novanta ASOPS Engine: High-Speed Time-Domain Spectroscopy with Sub-100 fs Resolution
Description
The Novanta ASOPS Engine is a sophisticated time-domain spectroscopy system, designed to deliver unmatched precision and speed for high-resolution measurements. This advanced system is equipped with two femtosecond lasers in a master-slave configuration, achieving a repetition rate that can be set at either 1 GHz or 84 MHz, depending on the specific needs of the application.
A standout feature of the ASOPS Engine is its ability to stabilize the repetition rate of the slave laser with a fine-tunable offset to the master laser, facilitated by the TL-1000 ASOPS electronic unit. This setup allows for the automatic and precise control of time delays between pump and probe pulses, eliminating the need for mechanical delay lines and significantly speeding up the data acquisition process.
The ASOPS technology supports extremely fast acquisition speeds up to 20 kHz and offers a remarkable time resolution of less than 60 fs for the 1 GHz lasers and below 100 fs for the 84 MHz options. These capabilities make the ASOPS Engine ideal for applications requiring rapid measurements and high temporal resolution, such as two-dimensional thickness measurement of materials and high-frequency phonon mode analysis in substances like ZnO.
Moreover, the system's robust design includes a high-speed balanced optical photoreceiver and an optical trigger unit, enhancing its functionality in complex experimental setups. The included HASSP-Scope software further simplifies measurement and analysis, making it a turn-key solution for researchers and engineers working in fields ranging from materials science to biological research.
