HELIOS FIRE is the next generation, automated femtosecond Transient Absorption Spectrometer in the HELIOS family. Among its numerous advantages, HELIOS FIRE features a 100-fold boost in sensitivity, allowing the study of more delicate samples. This, together with our patent-pending automated beam alignment system, delivers a new level of performance and user-friendliness. In addition to being virtually hands-off, HELIOS FIRE allows for user customization with its easily removable side panels and improved optical layout.

  • 1 Enhanced sensitivity – compatible with nJ pump energy levels
  • 2 Enhanced beam pointing – drift of <10 µm over the whole delay range
  • 3 Unprecedented degree of automation:
    • Automated optical delay line alignment (Smart Delay LineTM)
    • Automated pump beam alignment
    • Automated switching between UV, VIS and NIR spectral ranges
  • 4 More space around the sample – 225 mm x 250 mm
  • 5 Parabolic reflectors for continuum management ensure uniform focusing of all wavelengths.


  • 1 Fully Automated Optical Delay Line
    • Time window: 8 ns
    • Resolution: 14 fs
    • Minimum step size: 2.8 fs
    • Max. speed: >10 ns/s
    • Acceleration: > 260 ns/s^2
    • Automated alignment time: 3-5 min
    • Beam pointing drift: <10 µm over 8 ns delay range
