The Chirpscan technique is a perfect extension to a Dazzler for pulse compression optimization.

The large scanning range of the Dazzler allows to measure pulses with large time–bandwidth products, thus making it the ideal tool for the alignment and optimization of a compressor.

Specially developed to characterize the output of Fastlite high-flux MIR OPCPA sources, the Frozzer can measure pulses from 3 optical cycles to 5 ps between 1 and 9 μm. It is thus perfectly adaped to the temporal characterization of Yb, Er, or Tm-doped systems as well as signal, idler and DFG outputs of OPA and OPCPA systems.

Our compact ultrafast autocorrelator is used to characterize ultrafast laser pulses originating from Ti:sapphire and Yb:doped lasers. Featuring a built-in two-photon absorption (TPA) detector, this autocorrelator is ideal for measuring ultrafast femtosecond and picosecond laser pulses at wavelengths from 700 to 1100 nm. The highly sensitive TPA detector allows for measurements of ultrafast laser pulses with high sensitivity by eliminating the need for angle tuning of the SHG nonlinear crystal.

The d-shot is a compact system for the comprehensive characterization (full electric field) of ultrafast laser pulses. Its supports optical spectra corresponding to pulse durations around 10–70 fs and works with pulse repetition rates ranging from sub-Hz to hundreds of kHz or even MHz.

Coupling the laser beam into the d-shot is easily achieved in less than five minutes, and a full measurement (including retrieval) usually takes less than 10 s. The intuitiveness of the d-shot trace provides instant visual feedback for the optimisation of your source. d-scan is a very practical tool for real-time alignment and optimisation of your compressor or pulse shaper.

The d-cycle is a version for the most demanding ultrafast pulses, down to ultra-broadband spectra and single-cycle (sub-3 fs to 12 fs) pulse durations.

Swamp Optics’ pulse characterization devices are also known by their animal acronyms: FROGs & GRENOUILLEs. These neat and compact instruments:

- yield the pulse intensity and phase vs. time/frequency, in real time

- measure the spatial chirp and the pulse-front tilt

- measure the actual pulse, not the coherent artifact

- require minimal effort, no alignment.
