Buying Dispersive Mirrors

Top-level product category: icon optical components and devices

More specific product categories: chirped mirrors

Related product categories: laser mirrors, dispersion compensation modules, mirrors, ultrafast optics

Dispersive mirrors provide controlled chromatic dispersion and are used in applications such as laser resonators and pulse compression for ultrashort pulses. Types include chirped mirrors and Gires-Tournois interferometer (GTI) mirrors, which are essential in femtosecond laser optics and optical signal processing.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying dispersive mirrors. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for dispersive mirrors. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

dispersive mirrors

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.

dispersive mirrors

OPTOMAN can guide you through the features of dispersive mirror designs and manufacture optimal optics for your laser system. Dispersive mirrors come in two main types: GTI mirrors, which provide high dispersion over narrow bandwidths, and chirped mirrors, which offer broader spectral coverage with lower GDD, ideal for compensating bulk materials. OPTOMAN dispersive mirrors can be designed for any specific GDD requirement from slightly negative (−20 fs2) up to ±10000 fs2.

Standard in-stock low GDD mirrors can be found in OPTOSHOP.
