- Wide tuning range
LLTF Contrast - Photon etc
Applications in Thin Films
Magneto-optical (MO) effects are used either as tools for probing the magnetization reversal features of a broad range of sample types or as an effective way to modify the polarization of light through induced magnetization state in samples. In transparent samples, the Faraday effect, along with other MO effects such as Kerr measurements, provide a non-destructive probe for in-situ measurements of samples, such as thin films.
Other Applications
Characterisation of thin film filters (OD of up to 12) - A new transmittance measurement setup, using Photon etc. Laser Line Tunable Filter (LLTF) is employed to obtain spectrally resolved characterization of thin film filters with optical densities from 0 to 12 in a spectral range covering 400 nm to 1000 nm.
Tunable Laser Source - The LLTF can easily be coupled to a supercontinuum laser to provide a tunable laser source (TLS). The TLS can deliver a quasi-monochromatic output over a spectral range going from 400 nm to 2,500 nm. This tool can be used in several experiments and fields of research which includes: photoluminescence, absorption spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, instrument calibration, etc.
