Broadband fs laser optics
Broadband Femtosecond Laser Optics (Bandwidth ∼300nm)
- The coatings shown here are calculated for the wavelength range 700 - 1000 nm. Similar coatings are available for 600 - 900 nm and 650 - 950 nm
- Very high reflectivity of the mirrors (R > 99.8% … R > 99.95% depending on the design)
- Centre wavelength, bandwidth, GDD and TOD according to customer specification
- Spectral tolerance 1% of centre wavelength
- LIDT ≈ 0.1 J/cm2
- In-house design calculation and GDD measurement capabilities
Negative Dispersion Laser Mirror Pair
Figure 1: Reflectance (a) and GDD (b) spectra of a negative dispersion laser mirror pair Mirror pairs show a very smooth average GDD spectrum, although the single broadband mirrors exhibit strong GDD oscillations. Pump mirror pairs (i.e. mirror pairs with at least one mirror showing high transmission around 500 nm) are also available.
