Boost Your SPM Applications: From Kelvin Probe to Time-Resolved Measurements

Boost your SPM Applications I Zurich Instruments Webinar
October 8th, 2020
Speakers: Romain StompMehdi Alem

In this webinar, Romain and Mehdi discuss how to address complex detection schemes in scanning probe microscopy (SPM) with the highest possible resolution. They carry out tutorials on Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and electrical pump-probe methods, and consider a practical example of FM-KPFM measurement using the MFLI Lock-in Amplifier with a FlexAFM microscope. Romain's blog post highlights some important take-home messages, includes useful additional resources, and summarises the answers to the many questions asked during the live event.

A Fast and Scalable Approach to Controlling 100 Qubits and More

A Fast and Scalable Approach to Controlling 100 qubits and More - Zurich Instruments Webinar
August 20th, 2020
Speakers: Tobias Thiele

In this webinar, Tobias discusses how our instruments simplify and accelerate the development of ambitious quantum computing projects going from a few to more than 100 qubits. Focusing on two of the most promising systems, namely superconducting and spin qubits, he shows how to perform Rabi oscillations within a day and how to control and read out qubits with the highest speed and fidelity. Tobias answers some of the questions asked during the live session in this blog post.

Nanoscale Light-Matter Interactions

Nanoscale Light-matter Interaction I Zurich Instruments Webinar
July 23rd, 2020

In this webinar, Claudius and Romain are joined by Prof. Markus Raschke (University of Colorado Boulder) and his student Mr. Samuel Johnson to present the growing field of tip-enhanced scanning probe microscopy and its application to precision spectroscopy, ultrafast-nano-imaging and, in the strong coupling limit, cavity quantum electrodynamics. In particular, Claudius shows how to maximize the signal and image information content with advanced measurement instrumentation. Claudius, Markus and Samuel answer many of the questions asked during the live event here.

Optimize the Signal Acquisition for Optics and Photonics Measurements

Optimize the Signal Acquisition for Optics and Photonics Measurements I Zurich Instruments Webinar
June 23rd, 2020
Speakers: Claudius Riek

In this webinar, Claudius focusses on four prototypical techniques in optics and photonics: tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS)pump-probe spectroscopy, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and carrier-envelope offset (CEO) stabilization. He looks into how to choose the most suitable measurement scheme for your experiment, e.g. a lock-in amplifier or a boxcar averager, and discusses how to save precious measurement time and record high-quality data with the highest signal-to-noise ratio. Claudius answers the questions asked during the live session here; he covers some crucial aspects related to the topic of his webinar in this blog post.

Impedance Analysis: Measuring Low and Fast

Impedance Analysis: Measuring Fast and Low I Zurich Instruments Webinar
June 11th, 2020
Speakers: Tim Ashworth

In this webinar, Tim looks at two impedance measurement challenges. In the first case, he shows how to measure equivalent series resistance (ESR) below 1 mOhm and equivalent series inductance (ESL) below 20 nH for a DC-Link capacitor. In the second example, he discusses how to strike a balance between measurement speed and precision in fast capacitance measurements (on the time scale of microseconds) used to investigate the transient behavior of devices and materials. Tim's answers to many of the questions asked during the live session are available here.

Optimize the Signal Acquisition for Optical Measurements

Optimize the Signal Acquisition for Optical Measurements I Zurich Instruments Webinar
May 26th, 2020
Speakers: Claudius Riek

In this webinar, Claudius shows how to choose the best measurement approach (lock-in amplification vs boxcar averaging) and settings for your optical measurements to minimize the implementation effort, save time, and record high-quality data with the highest signal-to-noise ratio. The focus is on four prototypical techniques in optics and photonics: tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS)pump-probe spectroscopy, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and carrier-envelope offset (CEO) stabilization. In this blog post, Claudius answers the questions asked during the live session; here he covers some crucial aspects related to the topic of his webinar.

Nanostructure Transport Characterization

Nanostructure Transport Characterization I Zurich Instruments Webinar
May 14th, 2020
Speakers: Jelena Trbovic

In this webinar, Jelena looks into the basic transport characteristics of materials and nanostructures, and discusses how to set up a lock-in amplifier to perform the fastest measurements with the highest signal-to-noise ratio. An exhaustive summary of her answers to the questions asked during the live session is available here.

Sensor Characterization and Control

Sensor Characterization and Control I Zurich Instruments Webinar
April 30th, 2020
Speakers: Kıvanç Esat

In this webinar, Kıvanç looks at the best ways to use time- and frequency-domain tools to characterize sensing devices. In particular, he shows how to set up feedback loops for sensor control without the need for time-consuming and expensive application-specific integrated circuitry (ASIC) development. A detailed blog post accompanies this webinar.
