Zurich Instruments releases two new microwave lock-in amplifiers

Zurich Instruments' new GHFLI and SHFLI bring the advantages of lock-in detection – noise rejection, phase sensitivity, frequency tracking and more – to the GHz range. With measurement frequencies up to 1.8 and 8.5 GHz, respectively, these two trailblazing instruments target applications such as RF MEMS and NEMS characterization and control, spin qubits, ultrafast laser spectroscopy, spintronics, electronic devices failure analysis. Each instrument offers 2 independent lock-in channels and combines them with a full microwave measurement suite that includes an Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer, Parametric Sweeper and more, reducing complexity for scientists and engineers.
