Ultra Broadband fs laser optics

Ultra Broadband Femtosecond Laser Optics (Bandwidth ∼ one octave)

  • The coatings shown here are calculated for the wavelength of one octave (either 440 – 880 nm or 550 – 1100 nm). Similar coatings are possible for intermediate wavelength ranges.
  • Centre wavelength, bandwidth, GDD and reflectance of output couplers and beam splitters 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

Mirror pairs designed by LAYERTEC show a very smooth average GDD spectrum, although the single broadband mirrors exhibit strong GDD oscillations.
