Femtosecond Pump-Probe Microcavity Dispersion Imaging Setup

The setup is designed to perform optical analysis of polariton microcavities at room temperature under two pulses excitation in a pump-probe regime. 

Excitation is provided by a Coherent Libra amplified Ti:Sapphire laser and a Coherent OPerA SOLO optical parametrical. The setup is tuned to provide synchronized single pulses at 800nm or 400nm and 530-540nm with a pulsewidth ~200fs. The excitation repetition rate varies in the range 10-500Hz. The analyzed polariton microcavity is held in a free-standing optical setup which directs emission towards a real-space and energy dispersion imaging system (Princeton Instruments Acton SpectraPro SP-2750 spectrometer and ProEM HS CCD camera supported by LightField® software).
