Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc.

Supporting advanced research since 1968, Lake Shore Cryotronics is a leading innovator in measurement and control solutions for variable temperature and magnetic field conditions. High-performance solutions from Lake Shore include precision materials characterizations systems and instruments for exploring the properties of next-generation materials; cryogenic temperature sensors, controllers, and monitors; cryostats and other lab cryogenic equipment; and magnetic test and measurement instrumentation.

Lake Shore’s solutions for research include:

Environment by Janis cryostats – including versions for which optical window material and geometry can be specified to allow spectroscopy with excitation energies from gamma rays through to the far infrared.

Cryogenic probe stations – for performing electro-optical, DC, RF, and microwave measurements of materials and devices, including photovoltaic materials and semiconductor optoelectronic devices, in a variable temperature environment; models include cryogen-free and integrated magnet versions, and stations supporting backside optical illumination of a sample (ideal for examining photosensitive materials with topside metallization).

MeasureReady™ M81-SSM synchronous source measure system –a modular, multichannel solution that combines the convenience of DC and AC sourcing with DC and AC measurement, including a lock-in’s sensitivity, for low-level characterization of materials and devices; it’s particularly ideal for external quantum efficiency (EQE) measurements of solar cell and photodetector devices.

Hall effect measurement solutions – including the MeasureReady M91 FastHall™ measurement controller for faster, more accurate, and convenient Hall analysis of solar cell, organic electronic, and transparent conducting oxide materials when compared to traditional Hall measurement solutions.

Vibrating magnetometer systems (VSMs) – highly sensitive, electromagnet-based systems for characterizing magnetic properties of a wide range of samples, including those used in magneto-optical media development.
