Buying Mode Locking Devices

Top-level product categories: optical modulators, various devices

More specific product categories: saturable absorbers, semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors

Related product categories: optical modulators, mode-locked lasers, ultrafast lasers, picosecond lasers, femtosecond lasers, drive electronics for photonic components

Mode locking devices are crucial for generating ultrafast laser pulses. Active mode locking utilizes optical modulators, mainly electro-optic or acousto-optic types, while passive mode locking employs saturable absorbers, often based on semiconductor materials like SESAMs.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

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.

(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

1. Learn about the technology

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

With its comprehensive resources, RP Photonics helps you to well prepare purchase decisions:

2. Define your requirements

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

We recommend that for your preparation and for inquiries to suppliers, you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

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

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

If you check this, the criteria will be inserted into the inquiry mail if below you use a button titled "Get quotation".

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for mode locking devices. 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.
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.
