Tracking Ultrashortpulse Laser- and Process-Stability
For many applications, the pulse information from a lasers datasheet is sufficient. If, however, you are dealing with ultrashort pulse lasers that underlie non-linear distortion effects (e.g. fiber lasers), pulsed lasers with changeable pulse durations (e.g. pulse compressor) or if your application results strongly depend on stable pulse conditions, peakDetect is the right tool for you.
Pulse Variations Captured with peakDetect
peakDetect by APE is an innovative measurement device for precise monitoring of laserpulse variations to help you maintain reliable laser and process stability. Therefore, peakDetect measures the laser repetition rate, the average power, and the non-linear efficiency. These measurements enable the calculation of the relative peak power, and the pulse quality, that is, how far is the pulse above the Fourier-transform limit.
Robust Masterpiece
The compact and robust design makes peakDetect ideal for incorporation into larger laser systems or production lines and as a portable service tool.
