Light Conversion‘s HARPIA-LIGHT transient absorption spectroscopy system now features a continuous scan mode, enabling uninterrupted delay line movement while capturing spectral data in real time. The mode can be started or stopped directly from the pump–probe measurement window with a single click, with results displayed instantly on the same graph. Standard and continuous scans can be performed sequentially, allowing direct comparison of the acquired datasets.

Real-time visualization of transient signals allows users to quickly verify sample response, optimize acquisition parameters, and identify regions of interest before performing longer, high-resolution scans.

This capability is particularly valuable for studying systems whose response evolves during a measurement, such as phase transitions, structural transformations, chemical reactions, or the formation of long-lived metastable states. By providing immediate feedback on transient behavior and measurement stability, continuous scanning helps users detect changes in sample response while reducing the impact of long acquisition times.
