Rincon Third Order Cross-Correlator (TOCC)
Each Rincon is optimized for customer laser system and required range of
measurements.
The complete setup geometry, dimensions of non-linear crystals and some essential optics
are all function of laser parameters and user-chosen tradeoffs between
sensitivity, time resolution, time window, overall size etc.
We need the following information to set the tradeoffs and get all critical
data necessary for the design which is optimized for your system:
1. What is wavelength of you laser system?
2. What is the repetition rate?
3. What is the normal pulse energy and beam diameter?
4. Is the laser pulse chirped?
5. What is the spectral bandwidth?
6. What is the pulsewidth?
7a. What is the expected (or estimated) contrast ratio as a function of delay from peak
7b. What is the minimum necessary contrast ratio as a function of delay from peak
8. What is beam quality (i.e. beam divergence relative to diffraction-limited one)
The third order cross-correlator Rincon has been specifically developed for
measuring a wide array of output parameters from ultrafast laser systems
including:
contrast ratio of laser pulses, determining pulse pedestal, pre- and
post-pulses, and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in femtosecond systems. It
also provides information about the third-order cross-correlation function of
pulse intensity on a femtosecond scale and can be used for alignment of high
power femtosecond lasers.
Cross-correlator includes opto-mechanical assembly and electronics with USB
interface. System is easy to operate and includes a full set of user friendly
software tools for data collection and analysis.
