ASOPS

Asynchronous Optical Sampling System

ASOPS Asynchronous Optical Sampling System - Fast data acquisition

Flexible Platform

Combine any two Menlo Systems femtosecond fiber lasers in one system

Rapid Acquisition

ASOPS technique enables faster data collection with femtosecond resolution

Extended Time Windows

Measure processes in 10 ns (Dual Color) or 4 ns (Twin) ranges

Two-color Operation

Sub-150 fs pulses at 1560/780 nm for ultrafast spectroscopy

Mechanical-free Scanning

No moving parts for stable beam pointing and higher scan speed
