CleanDrive: Photothermal Excitation of the Cantilever
In 2021 Nanosurf introduced CleanDrive - a clean and reliable way to oscillate an AFM cantilever using photothermal excitation.
CleanDrive uses a near IR 785 nm laser aimed at the base of the cantilever to deliver stable and robust excitation of the AFM cantilever. This is in addition to the 840 nm superluminescent diode light source used for detecting the cantilever deflection. The photothermal excitation of the cantilever provides significant improvement in AFM performance, stability, resolution, and usability, and is especially effective in liquid environments.
