MFLI 500 kHz/5 MHz Lock-in Amplifier

  • Analyze, generate and control from DC to 500 kHz or 5 MHz
  • Precisely measure current and voltage
  • Fast measurement time and low noise floor
  • Configurability with multiple auxiliary input/outputs
  • LabOne toolset including Scope, Sweeper, and Spectrum Analyzer
  • Expand your toolset with upgrade options

Why Switch to the MFLI?

  • Voltage and current inputs with low stray power output, so your cryogenic sample does not get an unexpected dose of heat.
  • Use the oscilloscope in parallel with your lock-in amplifier for measuring your signals before and after demodulation, all without re-cabling.
  • Ease of programming; use the API log feature to quickly automate measurements and integrate into your wider experimental setup.
  • The low-latency and high-resolution auxiliary outputs ensure high fidelity signal read-out. Or choose to use the acquired signals on the instrument to set up fast control feedback loops.

Low-temperature transport experiments require measuring tiny signals buried in noise. Continuously monitoring the signal with the Scope tool is a huge advantage for optimizing the measurement parameters, such as choosing the right measurement frequency.

With the current and the voltage inputs, the MFLI is ideally suited for transport measurements. We even use multiple of them at different sections of the same Hall-bar and read them out synchronously.

Zurich Instruments' digital lock-ins have been of great value for my project on resonant mass sensors. Measurement schemes such as lock-in detection or phase-locked loops have been known for decades, but they have never been so easy to implement and configure.
