Which option is better for me, Femtosoft Technolgies QuickFrog or Mesa Photonics VideoFROG?
Femtosoft Technologies’ QuickFrog pulse-retrieval product is extremely versatile and complete, yielding numerous additional measures of the pulse that can be retrieved from the intensity and phase. (It also can also be used with other FROG beam geometries that might be required for measuring pulses at unusual wavelengths or very low energies.) QuickFrog includes a Firewire camera that connects directly to your GRENOUILLE or UPM camera. Refer to our QuickFrog page for complete information. Mesa Photonics’ VideoFROG is specifically designed to operate with GRENOUILLE. It performs the retrieval of the pulse intensity and phase vs. time and frequency as rapidly as 20 pulses per second (depending on the computer) from the GRENOUILLE trace. It will also automatically compute the pulse spatio-temporal distortions from the measured trace. It also contains spatial-profile software, allowing you to see the beam spatial profile with just a flip of a switch. It’s one integrated program that matche
