The
Spider is an instrument for phase sensitive pulse measurements. Based on the patented technology of Spectral Phase Interferometry for Direct Electric Field Reconstruction (SPIDER) it provides information not only about spectral and time resolved intensity but also about the phase of ultrafast laser pulses. The advantage over similar systems is the noniterative algorithm that allows for real-time measurement. Accordingly, the
Spider is an ideal adjustment tool for complex laser systems and a highly sensitive measurement device at the same time.
The Spider is delivered as a calibrated instrument with software matched to the hardware.
