UV–Vis Spectrometers

UV–Vis Spectrometers

The absorbance of UV and visible (UV–visible) radiations is measured using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. Deuterium lamps, which emit UV radiation, and tungsten lamps, which produce radiation in the visible region, are used as light sources in UV–visible spectrophotometers. A monochromator or prism is used for diffraction grating, i.e., to split the incoming radiation into different wavelengths. A system of slits is used to focus the desired wavelength on the sample cell. Samples for...

Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

Background:

Characterizing ultrashort ultraviolet (UV) pulses is crucial for applications in coherent control and nonlinear spectroscopy.
Existing methods often lack sensitivity or are complex to implement for broadband UV pulses.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate a novel, highly sensitive method for characterizing phase- and amplitude-modulated broadband UV pulses.
To improve the usability and accessibility of UV pulse characterization techniques.

Main Methods:

Utilized a shaper-assisted cross-correlation setup with a two-dimensional pulse modulator in diffractive shaping mode.
Integrated a split-mirror UV autocorrelator employing a solar-blind photomultiplier tube for sensitive nonlinearity detection.

Main Results:

Successfully characterized Fourier-limited UV pulses down to picojoule energy levels.
Enabled sensitive measurement of complex-shaped ultrashort UV pulses relevant to coherent control experiments.

Conclusions:

The developed shaper-assisted cross-correlation method offers a user-friendly and sensitive approach for UV pulse characterization.
This technique significantly enhances the capability to analyze complex UV pulse structures in ultrafast science.
