Optical Pulse Analyzer

Coherent Solutions has updated its IQFROG optical pulse analyzer.

New software is optimized to measure a wider range of pulse characteristics, including broad chirped pulses used for chirped pulse amplification. The multifunctional software controls the hardware, monitors the second harmonic spectrum and performs the FROG algorithm intensity and phase recovery.

The IQFROG is available in 1-μm and 1.5-μm wavelengths. Each is optimized for the specific wavelength ranges. Both come with 200 ps of temporal scan range, enabling measurement of pulses as broad as 50 ps. It comes with a connectorized optical input as a standard feature, eliminating the need to perform input beam alignment.
