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. Rincon cross-correlator includes opto-mechanical assembly, electronics with USB interface and a user friendly software tools for data collection and analysis.

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. Is the laser pulse chirped?
2. What is the spectral bandwidth?
3. What is the pulsewidth?
4a. What is the expected (or estimated) contrast ratio as a function of delay from peak
4b. What is the minimum necessary contrast ratio as a function of delay from peak
5. What is beam quality (i.e. beam divergence relative to diffraction-limited one)
