Mini Autocorrelator
Data Sheet

The Mini is a compact, interferometer based autocorrelator for measuring the pulse width of fs and ps laser systems with any repetition rate > 500 Hz. It is available for different wavelength ranges, easy to adjust and to use.

The wavelength range is chosen at the time of order and then fixed for the individual device. For in the field interchangeable wavelength ranges, please see our autocorrelator PulseCheck.

Features
  • Femtosecond resolution
  • All-reflective optics
  • Measurement of background free and interferometric autocorrelation functions
  • Display of width of autocorrelation function
  • Very compact and robust design
  • Data transfer via RS232 interface or USB
