The HARPIA comprehensive spectroscopy system performs a variety of sophisticated time-resolved spectroscopic measurements in a compact footprint. It offers an intuitive user experience and easy day-to-day maintenance meeting the needs of today’s scientific applications. Extension modules and customization options tailor the HARPIA system to specific measurement needs.
The system is built around the HARPIA-TA transient absorption spectrometer and can be expanded using time-correlated single-photon counting and fluorescence upconversion (HARPIA-TF), third beam delivery (HARPIA-TB), and microscopy (HARPIA-MM) modules. HARPIA is designed for easy switching between measurement modes and comes with dedicated data acquisition and analysis software. Each module is contained in a monolithic aluminum body ensuring excellent optical stability and minimal optical path lengths.
For a single-supplier solution, the HARPIA spectroscopy system is combined with a PHAROS or a CARBIDE laser together with ORPHEUS series OPAs. HARPIA also supports Ti:sapphire lasers with TOPAS series OPAs.
- Higher repetition rates available; contact sales@lighton.com for details.
- Spectral range is extendable to NIR; contact sales@lighton.com for details.
- High-speed detector available (< 50 ps); contact sales@lighton.com for details.
- Maximum measurement range depends on the phosphorescence signal.
- White light generation has axial color at focus and wavelength-dependent mode size and NA. Focused white light will exhibit focus shift and spot size variation depending on the chosen spectral range. Polychromatic spot size is given at full spectral range, monochromatic is at 500 nm with a 10 nm bandwidth.
- Depends on the objective used.
- Without external spectrograph.
- External sample placement option is available.
The HARPIA-TA ultrafast transient absorption spectrometer features market-leading characteristics such as 0.05 mOD (10⁻⁴ ΔT/T) sensitivity and the ability to work at high repetition rates up to 1 MHz, when used with a PHAROS or CARBIDE laser and an ORPHEUS series OPA. A high repetition rate allows measuring transient absorption dynamics with excitation pulse energies down to several nanojoules.
The HARPIA-TF is a time-resolved fluorescence measurement module that combines fluorescence upconversion and TCSPC techniques. In fluorescence upconversion, the signal from the sample is mixed in a nonlinear crystal with a gating femtosecond pulse to achieve high temporal resolution, which is limited by the duration of the gate and pump pulses.
The HARPIA-TB is a third beam delivery module for the HARPIA-TA unit that adds an additional dimension to time-resolved absorption measurements. It allows multi-pulse time-resolved spectroscopic techniques, in which the ongoing pump-probe photodynamics are perturbed by a delayed third pulse. In conjunction with a narrow-bandwidth picosecond pulse source, HARPIA-TB can be used to perform femtosecond stimulated Raman scattering (FSRS) measurements.
HARPIA-MM is a microscopy module add-on to the HARPIA-TA spectrometer, which enables spatially-resolved pump-probe measurements with a spatial resolution down to 2 μm. The sample can be positioned and scanned in a 13 mm range along XYZ axes using a motorized stage. Microscopic transient transmission and reflection signals can be measured using a broadband or a monochromatic probe.
A single software solution for all measurement modes, featuring:
- User-friendly interface
- Measurement presets
- Measurement noise suppression
- Diagnostics and data export
- Continuous support and updates
- API for remote experiment control using third-party software (LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB)
An ultrafast spectroscopy data analysis software, featuring:
- Advanced data wrangling: slicing, merging, cropping, smoothing, fitting, etc.
- Advanced global and target analysis

- Publication-ready figure preparation and data export
The HARPIA spectroscopy system achieves an excellent signal‑to‑noise ratio at high repetition rate and low energy excitation conditions. The graphs below compare the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of difference absorption spectra obtained with a Ti:Sapphire laser operating at 1 kHz and a PHAROS laser operating at 64 kHz with the same acquisition time.
