Where to Buy Pulse Compressors

The KMLabs RAEA Ti:sapphire amplifier system consists of a mode-locked oscillator, stretcher module, amplifier module, and compressor module for providing mJ-class energies in a pulsewidth < 35 fs.

Swamp Optics' new generation of BOA pulse compressors are robust, easily aligned/tuned and provide very high dispersion compensation and throughput. They are available over the entire spectrum from UV to visible and IR. Popular models available from stock. Compress your pulses and improve your process/image quality in multi-photon imaging, laser micro-nanomachining and other applications.

The APE femtoControl is a compact motorized dispersion compensation unit for compressing 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.

d-scan is an inline, compact and high-performance device for the simultaneous measurement and compression of even the most demanding ultrafast pulses. d-scan can be used either as a standalone system or integrated with existing optical pulse compressors. It handles broadband oscillators, amplifiers, OPAs and hollow-fiber compressors.

Coupling your beam into the d-scan is easily achieved in less than one minute and a full measurement takes less than 10 seconds. The resulting d-scan traces are very intuitive and a proprietary algorithm provides fast and accurate retrieval of the full electric field of the pulses.
