Femtosecond optical gating (FOG) methods gives best
temporal resolution in fluorescence spectroscopy. The resolution is
determined by a pulse width of femtosecond excitation and gate pulses
and doesn't depend on a detector response function. The fluorescence
kinetics from femtosecond to nanosecond time range is obtained by a
scanning of the gate pulse relative to the fluorescence excitation
pulse.
The sum frequency generation (also called
up-conversion) in optical nonlinear crystal is used as a gating method
in the FOG systems manufactured by the CDP Systems Corp. since 1997. We
offer up-conversion systems to match with different types of
femtosecond pulse sources and to get best spectral and dynamic ranges,
sensitivity and temporal resolution.
Specifications:
- Fluorescence spectral range: 320 nm – 1600 nm
(depends on the excitation wavelength)
- Pulse repetition rate: 1 kHz - 10 kHz (Model DA), 100
kHz - 100 MHz (Model DX)
- Maximum delay between gate and excitation pulses: 2.0
ns (4.0 ns in the optional double-pass configuration)
- Minimum step of the gate pulse: 1.56 fs
An optional CDP 2015 third harmonic generator is
recommended with FOG 100-DX for the UV sample excitation. The second
harmonic generator is installed inside the FOG 100-DX optical unit
