Unlock the Potential of Compact Sub-50 fs Lasers for Commercial Kerr-Effect Spectroscopy

Compact Sub-50 fs Lasers for Time-Domain Kerr-Effect Spectroscopy - A HÜBNER Photonics White Paper
Kerr-effect spectroscopy reveals ultrafast material dynamics essential for breakthroughs in solar cells, pharmaceuticals, and photonics. Yet, complex, bulky laser systems have confined this powerful technique to labs—until now.
This White Paper introduces compact, fibre-based femtosecond lasers delivering sub-50 fs pulses that enable sensitive, reliable Kerr-effect and Raman-induced Kerr-effect spectroscopy in commercial settings. Learn how these compact lasers overcome cost, size, and complexity barriers—unlocking real-world applications beyond academia.
Inside, you’ll discover:
Why traditional lasers limit Kerr-effect spectroscopy to research labs
How VALO femtosecond lasers (34 fs pulse) enable high-precision, label-free material analysis
Experimental proof of laser performance in time-domain OKE and RIKES
The commercial impact: smaller footprint, greater reliability, and expanded use cases across industries
Who should read this?
Researchers, engineers, and product developers in materials science, pharma, microelectronics, and photonics eager to leverage ultrafast spectroscopy for faster, more precise insights—without the complexity and cost of traditional lasers.
