Outstanding value. They’re what you’ve come to expect from a Stanford Research Systems lock-in amplifier. And they’re delivered by the new SR860 500 kHz Lockin Amplifier, the latest in a line of innovative lock-ins from SRS. With unparalleled analog performance, sophisticated new digital signal processing features, a thoroughly modern, intuitive user interface, and a wide range of computer connectivity options, the SR860 is the ideal choice for any synchronous detection application. With over 30 years of lock-in design experience SRS has made every effort to optimize each detail of the SR860. From a hefty toroidal transformer that eliminates switch-mode noise to iOS connectivity that brings the lock-in to your cell phone to advanced DSP filters that eliminate more noise while speeding up your experiment, the SR860 is truly the ultimate lock-in amplifier. Signal Inputs Lock-in performance starts at the front end. The SR860 front end offers both state-of-the art voltage and current input amplifiers. The voltage input is a switchable single-ended/ differential JFET-pair amplifier with 2.5 nV/√Hz of noise at 1 kHz and under 10 nV/√Hz of noise at 10 Hz. The voltage input has a 10 MΩ input impedance and can be AC or DC coupled. Input connector shields can be connected to the instrument ground through a user selectable 10 Ω (Ground) or 10 kΩ (Float) resistor. Stanford Research Systems

Output Time Constants and Filtering The SR860 offers traditional RC-response output time constants from 1 µs to 30 ks with rolloffs of 6, 12, 18, and 24 dB/oct. But in addition, the SR860 also offers advanced digital filters which can significantly reduce measurement time while increasing signal to noise. Below 3 s, the advanced filters are Gaussian FIR filters which at the same noise bandwidth as an RC filter have significantly better rise-time and stopband attenuation. These filters also have symmetric rise and fall profiles which preserves feature shapes while scanning in frequency. At time...

to the sine output. A rear-panel logic-level sync signal synchronized to the sine output is also provided. Timebase Rear-panel 10 MHz inputs and outputs are provided allowing the SR860 to be locked to an external frequency reference (such as the FS725 10 MHz Rubidium Frequency Standard). Alternatively, the 10 MHz output from the SR860 can be used to synchronize several lock-ins or other test equipment with a 10 MHz timebase input. FFT display FFT Displays Lock-in amplifiers are traditionally time-domain instruments but sometimes it’s easier to understand a signal in the frequency domain. The...
