Non-destructive. No sample prep. Completing your correlative suite.

KMLabs QM Quantum Microscope^TM advanced photon imaging solution is a fully integrated, commercialized platform enabling ultrafast spectroscopy in the EUV range and high-contrast, near surface-to-subsurface imaging at the nanoscale. It enables laboratory-based 2D high contrast imaging of composition and structure, study of mechanical properties of patterned films, deep understanding of materials properties, and functional characterization of spintronic, ALD, 2D, low-density lightweight, energy, space and photovoltaic materials.

A suite of integrated systems developed to elucidate critical details of critical technology problems.

By combining the time sensitivity of femtosecond lasers with the spatial resolution of EUV microscopy and diffraction, QM enables a series of techniques tuned for important challenges in research and industry. E.g., for batteries, EUV absorption near the lithium edge provides a microscopic and spectroscopically rich area to understand lithium bonding. For semiconductors, QM provides critical detail on buried and surface nanotopography with unique sensitivity to bonding.

Completely configurable, the QM Quantum Microscope comprises a laser source (EUV and/or VUV), amplifier, beamline tailored to the user’s experiment, and imaging or other analysis workstations that can effectively cover the microscopy/spectroscopy landscape for nano-to-quantum materials.

From the pioneer in robust, engineered EUV systems

Good news: you no longer have to dedicate your laboratory resources to building a high harmonic generation (HHG) system. The 4th generation of KMLabs’ XUUS™ extreme UV ultrafast source is a turnkey system that gets you right into your experiment. XUUS₄ is a coherent EUV/soft X-ray light source based on high harmonic generation. It is a fully-engineered and integrated commercial source based on a single robust opto-mechanical platform.

XUUS4 upconverts ultrafast laser pulses into the Extreme UV (EUV or XUV) or soft X-ray regions of the spectrum. Employing HHG processes, the output beam inherits the coherent properties of a driving laser such as the KMLabs RAEA with wavelengths that can be tuned from ~10 to 47 nm. Moreover, customized systems can generate coherent beams with wavelengths as short as 6.5 nm. XUUS₄ employs KMLabs’ patented hollow waveguide for the high harmonic up-conversion process.

The XUUS hollow-core fiber, or waveguide, architecture enables harmonics generated by the system to be distinguished from other HHG methods, guaranteeing your harmonics originate from the same point in space every time, minimizing any pointing drift. This optimizes repeatability for your experiments. Additionally, the use of a fiber rather than typical gas jet or semi-infinite gas cell target geometries provides superior pressure tunability for phase-matched HHG. Now you can choose robustness without sacrificing flexibility.

The KMLabs Halcyon™ repetition-rate stabilized oscillator is popular with customers who need to synchronize oscillator laser pulses with pulses from another laser or with a synchrotron.  Electronics included with the Halcyon lock its output to the customer’s reference signal and can provide timing jitter of less than 150 fs.  Stabilization of the repetition rate is achieved through multiple features including a temperature-stabilized breadboard, a motorized stage for coarse feedback, and a small piezo-mounted mirror for fast feedback.  The KMLabs team works closely with each Halcyon customer to ensure that the system meets their specific needs.  Due to the flexible design of the Halcyon™, it can lock to reference signals over a very wide range:  75 MHz to 4 GHz.
