QuickShape IR
Powerful Mid-IR Pulse Shaper
View Datasheet
QuickShape IR is a mid-IR pulse shaper that has been designed and engineered for ease of use. It is installed in your laboratory and fully supported by PhaseTech.
FAST
The QuickShape IR can switch pulse shapes on a shot-by-shot basis.
Whether scanning delays, frequencies, or other pulse shapes, our shot-by-shot, rapid-scan approach improves signal-to-noise over traditional scanning methods.
Rapid-scanning allows for averaging on-the-fly. This prevents averaging more than necessary and means more experiments can be done in a day.
FLEXIBLE
Phase Cycling
Time-Domain & Frequency-Domain Scanning
Rotating Frame
Gaussian, Lorentzian, Etalon, Reverse Elaton Shapes

WAVELENGTH RANGE
The QuickShape IR operates over a wide range of wavelengths covering the most widely studied vibrations of proteins, DNA & RNA, metal carbonyls and water.
Custom QuickShapes can be made for almost any wavelength, just let us know what you need.
ADVANCED DESIGN
Our 4th-generation design is the most compact, user-friendly, and accurate mid-IR pulse shaper yet. What used to take hours now takes just a few minutes.

Reflective optics for wavelength flexiblity.
Simplified layout for easy alignment.
Motorized gratings for easy wavelength tuning.
