- Description
- The identified requirements of a new single laser, time domain thermoreflectance (TDTR or pump-probe) system are identified below: System shall implement Time Domain Thermoreflectance Measurement of 1" samples. System shall have a femtosecond laser: 780nm wavelength, 100MHz pulse rate, >178mW power, 100-120 fs pulse width, and only air cooling (not water cooled). Optics shall provide the required functionality, having polarization, focusing as needed, t for system operation: o Setup shall provide 50 um spot size of the pump beam onto the sample o Setup shall provide 12 um spot size of the probe beam onto the sample, collocated with pump beam spot. o Pinhole camera setup to monitor thesample for alignment purposes of pump/probe beam positions o programmable Modulation frequency of pump beam: 9.8MHz setting required o Timing of Pump and Probe pulses must be accomplished o Means of blocking either pump or probe beam or both must be provided o Probe beam must be detected, filtering out the pump beam, and locked onto. Dual Phase Lock-in amp is required as original modulation signal is required The output signal must be captured by a computer, i.e. collection of a "scan" with position. o The Probe beam must be able to be "zero-referenced" and scanned with uniform spacing from 0 nanoseconds to 4 nanoseconds (i.e. the time is commensurate with linear spacing of a programmable z stage) with repeatable positioning. Data collection of the Lock-in amplifier signal and the position of the probe beam sample stage must be implemented, typically using LabVIEW. Collection of the data is accomplished using software The Z stage is to automatically position itself for the data collection A full data collection scan from 0 to 4 nanoseconds is to be acbomplished in less than 15 minutes. Software is to allow data collection, storage, and operation A model must be provided that converts the data collected into a notional thermal conductivity. o The model that is implemented in software must be documented mathematically. o The model must be provided as at least an executable program, to be executed on the data collection computer. Calibration of the system will be demonstrated by scanning a known sample and subsequently modeling it using the provided software; (two orders of magnitude of precision are to be demonstrated from the calibration measurement). One week setup time will be permitted on-site at RXBT F~ Training government employees will be accomplished within one week of setup completion Calibration and demonstration of modeling will demonstrate system
