QCFM - Quantum Confocal Scanning Microscope
Fast. Powerful. Automated.
Your single solution for characterizing diamond quantum sensors.
Whether diamond materials or ensemble devices, enhancing key parameters such as saturation rate, lifetime or coherence is vital for progress and widespread adoption of quantum sensors. Building a confocal system that can do pulsed measurements is extremely time consuming, adding the automation for characterizing hundreds of sensors even more so.
The turnkey characterization setup
We designed the QCFM to help us improve the quality of our own scanning sensors. It combines the high performance optics head of the QSM, with all the features that you have come to expect, with a high resolution microscopy stage and, most importantly, the QS3 software suite. You can add many of the QSM features, such as different magnet options for biasing.
At its core, the QCFM is a high performance, large travel range confocal microscope. The long working distance objective facilitates handling delicate samples and the combination of scanning the laser and moving the sample allows you to always measure with the same optical efficiency, microwave and magnetic field. Together with automation, you can now easily characterize hundreds and thousands of device, putting your data analysis on a solid statistical foundation.
The true power of the QCFM is the software, QS3. Choose from many standard characterization protocols, such as cw-ODMR, saturation curves, T1, T2, CPMG, and many more, or write your own pulse sequences. Then perform stacks of characterization measurements at each site and gain time by adding test cases to skip sites that are not worth spending time on.
