Where to Buy Dispersive Mirrors

OPTOMAN can guide you through the features of dispersive mirror designs and manufacture optimal optics for your laser system. Our dispersive mirrors feature predefined and flat GDD and GTI mirrors can be designed for any specific GDD requirement from slightly negative (−20 fs²) down to −5000 fs². Standard in-stock low GDD mirrors can be found in OPTOSHOP.

LASEROPTIK designs and produces various kinds of dispersive coatings, including chirped mirrors and matched pairs of chirped mirrors, also all other kinds of coated optics for dispersion management like GTI mirrors. We use Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) for highest quality and widely ranging dispersion measurement setups for precise characterization.

UltraFast Innovations (UFI®) provides a wide range of ultra-broadband compression mirror sets in various configurations. For example, mirror sets for pulse compression in chirped-pulse titanium:sapphire amplifier systems, broadband oscillators and other applications cover the wavelength range between 400–1200 nm, i.e., up to 1.5 octaves. Our customers have reached pulse durations around 3 fs after spectral broadening in hollow-core fibers and gas cells in combination with mirrors designed and manufactured by UFI. In addition, we also offer large dispersive optics with up to 200 mm diameter.

Such mirrors are not only optimized for a broad reflection bandwidth, but also for a precise chromatic dispersion profile with low group delay dispersion (GDD) fluctuations.

few-cycle offers state-of-the-art components (dispersive and non-dispersive mirrors, windows, wedges) that enable achieving and preserving the bandwidth-limited duration of few-cycle pulses with central wavelengths ranging from the visible to the near infrared. Our R & D projects pave the way to implementing dispersion management techniques for ultrashort pulses with average powers up to 200 W.
