Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Use our ultrafast lasers to study processes on femtosecond or picosecond timescales or use the broadband output for 2D applications.

Performance and Stability Don’t compromise – get the shortest pulse widths and rock-solid stability.
Operational Simplicity Choose a one-box laser/amplifier or maximize flexibility with an open platform.
24/7 Reliability = Productivity Maximize your publishable data output by avoiding unscheduled downtime.

Investigating Fast Processes

Ultrafast laser pulses enable the study of fast events in all kinds of materials. Many of these studies use some type of pump-probe method where one pulse excites the sample and another pulse interrogates the outcome. That’s because the best tool to match the incredible time resolution of a UF laser pulse is another UF laser pulse! Some of the experimental setups are therefore quite complicated. That’s why we emphasize simplicity and reliability in all our ultrafast lasers – so you can put all your focus on your experiment, never the laser.
