ATR Attenuated Total Reflectance Probe

Posted on: September 16th, 2021

  Avantes ATR Probe for measurements of viscous fluids. Attenuated Total Reflectance is a measurement technique used for incredibly optically dense media such as inks, dyes, coal, and sludge. ATR uses the property of total internal reflection through a crystal resulting in an evanescent wave. A beam of visible or near-infrared light is passed through…

UV Radiometry Spectra

Posted on: April 21st, 2021

Radiometry deals with the measurement of all optical radiation inclusive of the visible portion of this radiant energy. Irradiance is a parameter of radiometry that describes the amount of radiant power upon a surface per unit area. These measurements can be done in the UV, VIS and NIR wavelength ranges. Irradiance measurements are useful in…

Frequency Resolved Optical Gating

Posted on: March 18th, 2021

In this application note, we will explore one of the most popular techniques for ultrafast laser characterization, which relies heavily on spectral measurement action: frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG). As well as the key requirements for spectrometers used in FROG systems. This aids mode-locked lasers in providing accurate and reliable laser characterization systems.
