FEMTOSECOND TIMING! By Michael Rocco Whalen and Cara Perkins
2
P UMP – P ROBE E XPERIMENTS A pump-probe experiment excites an atom or molecule with a visible laser beam, then probes the object with a hard X-ray. By measuring the timing difference between the two laser pulses, one can rearrange the captured images and create a “movie” of the chemical dynamics.

R ESOLUTION B ANDWIDTH (RBW) Smaller RBW’s have better resolution. Therefore, harmonics are more apparent. Here, one can see the 60 Hz harmonics coming from nearby power lines. Larger RBW’s look at a much wider frequency band. The averaging of the frequency measurements eliminates most of the harmonics seen at lower RBW’s. 10 Hz Resolution Bandwidth10 kHz Resolution Bandwidth

T HE S EARCH FOR P INK N OISE The spectrum analyzer revealed a noise floor that resembled a 1/f curve, but further investigation showed that this was simply the result of averaging the incoming frequencies. This noise floor was taken at a 100 Hz RBW.
