Where to Buy Dispersive Mirrors

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.

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.

Our ultra-broadband compression mirror sets are available in many configurations. For example, mirror sets for pulse compression in chirped-pulse Ti:sapphire amplifier systems, broadband oscillators and other applications cover the wavelength range of 400–1200 nm, i.e., up to 1.5 octaves. 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 UltraFast Innovations (UFI). 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 GDD fluctuations.

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.

Edmund Optics offers various kinds of mirrors for ultrafast laser technology, including low-dispersion and highly dispersive broadband mirrors for different spectral regions such as 0.8 μm, 1 μm and 2 μm, but also UV and other infrared versions.

Thorlabs manufactures a wide range of laser optics specifically designed for ultrafast applications, including mirrors with a specialized coating optimized for use with femtosecond Ti:sapphire lasers, low GDD beamsplitters and mirrors, and chirped mirrors. To precisely characterize the dispersion of ultrafast optics over the 500 – 1650 nm range, consider Thorlabs’ Chromatis dispersion measurement system with the InGaAs detector add-on option.
