Ultrafast Laser Optics
 

ULTRAFAST LASER OPTICS

Real-world application testing

 Ultrafast pulses have inherently broad bandwidths, making controlling chromatic dispersion critical

 Group delay dispersion (GDD) of ultrafast optics must be finely controlled

 Edmund Optics® designs and deposits ultrafast coatings with GDD values from -4,000 – 5,000 fs2

 Dielectric highly-reflective and anti-reflective coatings as well as ultrafast-enhanced silver coatings

Manufacturing Capabilities

 Highly-dispersive mirrors, low GDD optics, and beam expanders

 Intra- and extra-cavity optics for high-power ultrafast lasers

 3rd order dispersion of 0 fs3, or negative values down to -2500 fs3

 Cost-effective ultrafast-enhanced silver coatings with R>99% and GDD as low as 0 ±20fs2 over common ultrafast wavelengths

 GDD values below -100fs2 available through our strategic partner, UFI

 

Ultrafast Metrology

  Accurately measure GDD of multilayer ultrafast optics

  Ultra-broadband spectral coverage ranging from 250nm to 2100nm

  GDD accuracy of ±5 fs2 at angles of incidence between 0-70°

 
 

Technical Expertise

  In-house experts with years of ultrafast optics manufacturing and ultrafast laser applications experience

  Guidance in understanding what GDD, 3rd order dispersion, and other specifications are needed
