A high-speed, high-sensitivity and compact two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectrometer based on 100 kHz Yb:KGW regenerative amplifier technology is described and demonstrated. The setup is three color, using an independent pump OPA and two separately tunable probe OPAs. The spectrometer uses 100 kHz acousto-optic pulse shaping on the pump beam for rapid 2D-IR acquisitions. The shot-to-shot stability of the laser system yields excellent signal-to-noise figures (∼10 μOD noise on 5000 laser shots). We show that the reduced bandwidth of the Yb:KGW amplifiers in comparison with conventional Ti:sapphire systems does not compromise the ability of the setup to generate high-quality 2D-IR data. Instrument responses of <300 fs are demonstrated and 2D-IR data presented for several systems of interest to physical chemists, showing spectral diffusion in NaSCN, amide I and II bands of a β sheet protein and DNA base-pair–backbone couplings. Overall, the increased data acquisition speed, intrinsic stability, and robustness of the Yb:KGW lasers are a significant step forward for 2D-IR spectroscopy.

基于双Yb:KGW放大器的100 kHz脉冲整形2D-IR光谱仪

描述并演示了基于100 kHz Yb:KGW再生放大器技术的高速,高灵敏度,紧凑型二维红外(2D-IR)光谱仪。设置为三种颜色,使用一个独立的泵OPA和两个分别可调的探头OPA。光谱仪在泵浦光束上使用100 kHz声光脉冲整形,以快速进行2D-IR采集。激光系统的逐次拍摄稳定性可产生出色的信噪比(5000次激光拍摄时约10μOD噪声)。我们表明,与传统的Ti:蓝宝石系统相比,Yb:KGW放大器的带宽降低并不损害设置生成高质量2D-IR数据的能力。演示了<300 fs的仪器响应,并提供了物理化学家感兴趣的几种系统的2D-IR数据,显示在NaSCN,β折叠蛋白的酰胺I和II带以及DNA碱基对-骨干偶联中的光谱扩散。总体而言,Yb:KGW激光器提高的数据采集速度,固有稳定性和耐用性是2D-IR光谱学向前迈出的重要一步。
