Where to Buy Optical Delay Lines

An optical delay line introduces a controlled time delay for a light beam. This is required for many types of interferometers (e.g. for OCT), communications devices, autocorrelators, electro-optic sampling and for pump–probe measurements. Some devices provide a variable delay, which can e.g. be periodically scanned.

optical delay lines

UltraFast Innovations (UFI) offers the pulse delay unit K2 which is specially designed for use in the XUV and soft X-ray region, where a particularly high precision and stability is required. A two-segment mirror sends IR pulses and lower divergent XUV/soft X-ray pulses to a common focus with an interferometrically precisely adjustable time delay. This allows temporal resolved experiments with pumping systems of interest either with the XUV/soft X-ray pulse and probe it with the IR or vice-versa. Based on the nature of e.g. attosecond pulses generated in the XUV/soft X-ray range by high-harmonic generation (HHG) this offers state-of-the-art highest temporal resolution for your experiments.

optical delay lines

Ready-to-use optical delay lines manufactured by Thorlabs include the drive system necessary for computer-controlled variation of optical path lengths. With delays up to 4,000 ps and time resolution down to 0.67 fs, these systems compliment our family of ultrafast optics and laser systems.

optical delay lines

The APE ScanDelay is a variable optical delay line, allowing the introduction of a well-defined time delay into an optical path – for example, for pump–probe measurements. The delay is periodically controlled by a fast scanning shaker at a frequency of up to 20 Hz.

The heart of APE’s optical delay line series is a special linear translation stage that is supplied together with appropriate control and drive electronics. The linear drive has been designed especially for optical applications. It combines low moving mass with compactness, reaching a high speed, as well as high precision and resolution. The delay drive has frictionless movement, a large and precise travel range, and it allows for very small displacements without any stick-slip-effects.

The control electronic contains the motion driver and a quartz stabilized signal synthesizer. It can be synchronized with an external clock for a precise, phase-locked scanner movement.
