The Reef-RTD Real-Time Autocorrelator is an advanced instrument designed for the precise measurement of femtosecond and picosecond pulse durations. This state-of-the-art device is ideal for those working with various laser systems, offering a seamless experience in monitoring pulse durations ranging from 10 femtoseconds to 6 picoseconds. With multiple models available, users can select from different wavelength ranges, and the versatile Reef-RTDM model even combines these ranges using interchangeable photodetectors and optics. This flexibility ensures that the Reef-RTD can meet the diverse needs of scientific and industrial applications.

Equipped with a USB interface, the Reef-RTD easily connects to any PC running Windows OS, allowing for straightforward data acquisition and analysis. The accompanying software provides a suite of tools for visualizing, storing, and exporting pulse duration data, with real-time calculations of the autocorrelation function and full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) pulse duration. Users can also benefit from Gaussian or sech2 fitting options and observe intensity functions. The statistical viewer feature further enhances the data analysis capabilities by enabling the comparison of multiple pulse measurements.

The compact design of the Reef-RTD, measuring just 132x123x118 mm, ensures it fits seamlessly into any experimental setup, even those with stringent space constraints. For users requiring flexibility, an optional fiber input is available, which maintains the device's capability for free-space measurement. This feature allows for fast and reliable pulse duration measurement in various optical fibers, expanding the device's applicability across different experimental conditions.
