  • Adjustable repetition rate

  • High data quality

  • Rapid data acquisition

  • Straightforward alignment

  • User-friendly interface

About

The MatriX-1 is the world’s first ultrafast broadband photoluminesence spectrometer for amplified lasers. It uses transient grating technology to achieve background-free and broadband fluorescence detection with femtosecond temporal resolution.

The sensitive detection scheme can measure the smallest of signals. This high sensitivity is intrinsic to the transient grating configuration, along with optical design that enhances the gated fluorescence throughput and blocks background light.

This turnkey system comes with intuitive software that includes alignment tools, custom time series builder, data acquisition and processing, and real-time data acquisition display.

Features

  • Simultaneous detection of a broadband emission spectrum, covering 400 - 875 nm

  • fs resolution with the instrument response function being 1.6 times the longest pulse duration

  • High data quality due to the background free configuration and high repetition-rate compatibility

  • Rapid data acquisition enabled by the broadband detection and high gating efficiency

  • Minimal alignment required using straightforward alignment checkpoints

  • User-friendly software interface guides the user through the experimental steps

  • Compatible with both amplified Ti:Sapphire and Yb fiber and solid-state laser systems

  • Easily integrated with the TAngent-1 – Advemto’s forthcoming ultrafast transient absorption
