PD Detector Module, Red, 520-750 nm, Inc. SHG Crystal, PulseScout2

The PulseScout2 is a Michelson interferometer based autocorrelator capable of measuring pulse widths from 20 fs to 3.5 ps in the 420 -1600 nm wavelength range. It requires horizontally polarized input with a minimum beam diameter of 2 mm (1/e²). The base model contains the optical head shown on the left and control unit shown on the right. Interchangeable detector modules are offered but are not included with the base model.

The PulseScout Detector modules are available in BLUE (420 - 550nm), RED (520 - 750nm), NIR (700 - 100nm), and IR (1000 - 1600nm). Two versions are offered for each wavelength range: photomultiplier tube PMT models for high repetition rate (MHz) oscillators (such as Tsunami^®) and photodiode detector PD models for low repetition rate (kHz) amplifiers (such as Spitfire^® Ace™). Each detector comes with a low-pass filter and SHG crystal.

The PulseScout2 optical head in base model does not include a detector module. Interchangeable detector modules can be used with the same autocorrelator optical head. You can simply replace the detector module to change the wavelength range or detector type in seconds.

Enabling remote control of the PulseScout2 via TCP/IP using SCPI command structure. This software package is included with the base model unit. Utilize this for integration of the PulseScout2 into automated measurement setups.

Alignment is straight-forward with the built-in target and crosshair, and can be done easily even for first time users, making this autocorrelator an ideal diagnostic tool for all of your ultrafast applications.

Easy alignment is performed in collinear mode and switching to non-collinear mode gives you a background and interference free measurement.
