µ-FROG Software

The retrieval of the ultrashort-pulse from the FROG trace image is managed by our easy-to-use FROG software. Fast FROG software comes with an optimized retrieval algorithm. It allows you to retrieve time and spectral information in real-time.
Several algorithms (including the so called Ptychographic Iterative Engine) are combined to enhance the reconstruction speed and quality.
Thanks to speed, the live extraction of shot-to-shot pulse properties is achieved, such as temporal profile intensity and phase, fundamental spectrum and phase, pulse chirp, third-order dispersion, and, of course, pulse duration (FWHM, autocorrelation FWHM, Fourier-limited pulse duration).
