FEATURES
• Straightforward operation
• Automated spectral scanning and calibration of upconversion crystal and prism
• Easy switching between fluorescence upconversion and TCSPC modes
• Measurement of fluorescence dynamics in the femtosecond to microsecond range
• Full control over polarization, intensity, delay and wavelength
OVERVIEW
• Combined femtosecond upconversion and TCSPC measurement in a small footprint
• Straightforward operation and easy day‑to‑day maintenance
• Works as an add‑on to a HARPIA‑TA or as a standalone unit
• Easy switching between fluorescence upconversion and TCSPC modes
• Compatible with PHAROS and CARBIDE series lasers running at 50 – 1000 kHz
• Analog PMT detector option for fluorescence upconversion
• Automated spectral scanning and calibration of upconversion crystal and prism
• Measurement of fluorescence dynamics in the femtosecond to microsecond range
• Full control over the following parameters of the pump beam:
– Polarization (using a Berek polarization compensator)
– Intensity (using manual or automated continuously variable neutral density filters)
– Gate delay (using an optical delay line)
• Spectrally‑resolved fluorescence detection using a monochromator
• When combined with a HARPIA‑TA main unit, a single monochromator can be used for both time‑resolved absorption and fluorescence measurements with no detector swapping necessary. Other monochromator options are available, such as a double subtractive monochromator for higher TCSPC time resolution
The HARPIA‑TF is a time‑resolved fluorescence measurement module which combines fluorescence upconversion and TCSPC techniques.
