September 1, 2007 Mesa Photonics releases a new ultrafast laser pulse measurement system based on frequency resolved optical gating: FROG Scan
Move your research to a new level
Welcome toMesa Photonics
Real-Time Ultrafast Laser Pulse Measurement Solutions and Diagnostics.
We provide the most advanced ultrafast laser pulse measurement systems available, with the highest combination of measurement speed, dynamic range, temporal range and wavelength range available. Because our systems are field upgradeable, they can grow with your needs. Based on Frequency Resolved Optical Gating (FROG), a time tested pulse measurement technique, you can be sure that measured results are reliable and accurate.
FROG Scanis a completely integrated, real-time solution for ultrafast laser pulse measurement. Our systems combine a high speed optical delay with a high dynamic range 16-bit detector to provide a wide range of applicability. Our FROG Scan system is compact and completely field upgradeable--if you purchase a device from us and find that you need a wavelength range that it doesn’t cover, you do not need to purchase an entirely new device--you only need to upgrade the system you have. No other system provides the combination of adaptability, range of pulse widths and pulse bandwidths in a single device.
Move your research to a New Level: Pulse measurement without assumption
Typically, when you make a pulse measurement with a competing pulse measurement technique, you make an assumption. In the case of autocorrelation, you make the assumption that your pulse is smooth and well behaved--fitting some preconceived expectation that your pulse is Gaussian or Sinc-squared. Other times, and just as insidiously misguided is that you assume that a spectrum you measure linearly is the actual spectrum of the ultrafast laser pulses from your laser. Unfortunately, depending on the design of the laser, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) can be output at significant levels. This ASE may not have the same spectrum as your ultrafast laser pulses. Using some other pulse measurement instruments you might assume that the output pulse are temporally smooth, without high order phase distortions so you do not need a high-dynamic range detector. The lesson? Do not assume what you are trying to prove. Use a pulse measurement instrument that makes no assumptions: FROG Scan.
Whether it is just tweaking up a laser system, maintaining it’s level of performance, or using ultrafast lasers to conduct research, our products can help you to the performance of your laser systems to a new level.
