Buying Timing Jitter Measurement Devices
Specialized instruments are used to measure the timing jitter of ultrashort laser pulses. These devices can provide power spectral densities of the pulse timing or simple r.m.s. values, depending on the measurement requirements.

 Lasers for the Molecular Age Cycle GmbHLuruper Hauptstr. 1 22547 Hamburg Germany |  Cycle offers the lowest noise timing detectors in the market based on its patented balanced optical cross-correlator (BOC) and balanced optical microwave phase detector (BOMPD) technologies. The BOC detects the relative timing jitter between two independent optical pulse trains with identical center wavelengths, whereas the BOMPD detects the timing jitter or phase noise between an optical pulse train and the zero-crossings of a microwave signal. Cycle’s BOCs and BOMPDs provide exceptionally high timing sensitivity, attosecond timing resolution, and AM-PM conversion suppression against environmental fluctuations. We offer BOCs operating on 800 nm, 1030 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. We also offer two color BOCs (TCBOC) to measure the timing jitter of lasers at different center wavelengths. Our BOMPDs operate with a wide range of microwave frequencies (10 MHz – 10 GHz) and optical wavelengths (800 nm, 1030 nm and 1550 nm). |
