Laser -Sources
The choice of laser wavelength and repetition rate plays a key role in time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TR-MOKE) experiments, directly impacting spatial resolution, signal sensitivity, and the accessible time window. To meet a wide range of experimental demands, we offer a flexible selection of femtosecond and picosecond laser sources.
For lower GHz-range dynamics, picosecond lasers provide a cost-effective alternative with sufficient temporal resolution. In fluorescence microscopy applications, especially those involving NV centers, we also provide continuous-wave (CW) laser sources tailored to specific excitation needs.
Our standard femtosecond systems include 800 nm (400 nm SHG) and 1040 nm (520 nm SHG) lasers, with repetition rates from 1 MHz to 100 MHz and pulse energies up to 100 nJ—custom configurations available on request.
- Standard Lasers:
- 1040 nm and 520 nm (via SHG)
- 800 nm and 400 nm (via SHG)
- Repetition rates: 1 MHz – 100 MHz
- Pulse energy: up to 100 nJ (higher energies on request)

rf -SourceS
Our proposed RF systems offer high-frequency precision up to 67 GHz, enabling tailored excitation of magnetic systems across a broad spectrum—from low-GHz ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements to high-frequency spin dynamics.
Fine-tuning the RF frequency is critical for selectively addressing specific magnetization modes and dynamic regimes. This precision not only supports TR-MOKE applications but also enables targeted excitation of NV centers, allowing for controlled spin manipulation and advanced quantum sensing experiments.
Whether your research focuses on dynamic magnetic responses or quantum spin control, the RF sources used for our Fluorescence TR-MOKE are built for accuracy and stability.

Electromagnet options
Our systems feature robust electromagnets engineered for high-precision magnetization experiments. With in-plane magnetic fields exceeding 1 Tesla, they deliver the stability and strength required for dynamic magnetic studies. Out-of-plane configurations are also available upon request to accommodate specialized experimental needs.
For full flexibility, our setups support up to 360° rotation of the in-plane magnetic field, enabling angular-dependent measurements without sample repositioning—essential for anisotropy characterization. An integrated water-cooling system ensures thermal stability, even under sustained high-field operation.
To match various experimental demands, we propose both unipolar and bipolar power supplies, providing precise control over field polarity and amplitude.

Schematic overview of a standard TR-MOKE setup. Femtosecond laser
pulses are used for stroboscopic measurement of coherently excited spin waves. A galvo-galvo unit can be used for scanning the laser pulses across the sample surface (placed at
the position marked by the dashed rectangle). Alternatively, the sample can be moved
via a xyz piezo scanning stage to scan the sample surface with respect to the laser focus.

(a) Spin wave propagation as a function of the external magnetic field. An area with high attenuation is observed around 31 mT.
(b) Black spheres show the extracted k-values from TR-MOKE measurements presented in (a). The dispersion relation calculated using TetraX (red symbol-line) is in good agreement with the experimental data, whereas the calculation using the zeroth order perturbation theory from Kalinikos and Slavin (KS) does not give the proper solution in the vicinity of the hybridization.
