Standard fs laser optics

Standard Femtosecond Laser Optics (Bandwidth ∼120 nm)

  • The coatings shown here are calculated for a bandwidth of 120 – 150 nm in the wavelength range between 600 nm and 1000 nm.
  • Very high reflectivity of the mirrors (R > 99.9 ... 99.97 %)
  • Spectral tolerance 1% of centre wavelength
  • LIDT = 0.1 ... 0.3 J/cm2 depending on the coating design
  • In-house design calculation and GDD measurement capabilities
  • Centre wavelength, GDD and TOD according to customer specification

  • Beam splitters for s - polarization are available as well
  • Reflectance and transmittance of output couplers and beam splitters can be adjusted according to customer specifications
  • Tolerances:
    • R =10 … 70 % ± 2.5 %
    • R = 70 … 90 % ± 1.5 %
    • R = 90 … 95 % ± 0.75 %
    • R = 95 … 98 % ± 0.5 %
    • R > 98% ± 0.25 %
  • Standars AR coatings:
    • AOI = 0°: R < 0.2 %
    • AOI = 45°, s - pol: R s < 0.5 %; p - pol: rear side uncoated, Rp < 0.6 %
