![]() 7639 Cordner Lasalle, Quebec H8N 2X2 Canada | ![]() O/E Land's OEDCG-100 is a dispersion compensating module based on fiber Bragg gratings. It features a compact size, small insertion loss and customized dispersion slope. Our unique fiber grating apodization technology enables us to fabricate dispersion compensation grating filters with high isolation, low side lobes and low ripples. Product-specific web page |
![]() Plauener Straße 163–165 / Haus N 13053 Berlin Germany See us at LASER World of Photonics 2025 in Munich, June 24–27 (booth B2.410)! | ![]() The APE femtoControl is a compact motorized dispersion compensation unit for optimization of the duration of femtosecond laser pulses in the spectral range of Ti:sapphire lasers. femtoControl compensates for material dispersion by applying the inverse amount of dispersion to the pulse. This is generated by a pair of prisms on motorized translation stages allowing continuous adjustment of the pulse length. For example, femtoControl can help to achieve more crisp and clearer microscope images especially for multi-photon microscopy. Product-specific web page |
![]() 43 Sparta Avenue Newton, NJ 07860 United States See us at LASER World of Photonics 2025 in Munich, June 24–27 (booth B2.403, A1.530)! | ![]() Thorlabs manufactures a suite of options for dispersion management, including a pre-compensation module, dispersion compensating fiber, chirped mirrors, and low GDD optics. For ultrafast applications where dispersion must be well known and managed, Thorlabs’ portfolio includes a robust benchtop white light interferometer for characterizing reflective and transmissive dispersive properties of optics and coatings. By utilizing two different detectors, the Chromatis™ dispersion measurement system covers a broad spectral range from 500 – 1650 nm, enabling characterization of optics used for common femtosecond systems, including Ti:sapphire systems as well as 1 µm and 1550 nm oscillators. The Chromatis complements our ultrafast family of lasers, amplifiers, and specialized optics including nonlinear crystals, chirped mirrors, low GDD mirrors/beamsplitters, and dispersion compensating fiber.
