Buying Semiconductor Saturable Absorber Mirrors
Semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) are widely used for passive mode locking of lasers, particularly solid-state lasers. They also enable passive Q switching, such as in microchip lasers. SESAMs are customizable for various operational wavelengths, modulation depths, saturation fluences, bandwidths, and recovery times, making them adaptable to a wide range of laser applications.

![]() Kauhakorvenkatu 53B 33710 Tampere Finland | ![]() Reflekron offers customized SESAMs for the volume production and development of pulsed laser systems including fiber lasers, solid-state lasers, and semiconductor lasers operating in both mode-locked and Q-switched regimes. Our SESAM designs rely on monolithic semiconductor structures fabricated by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) using GaAs, InP and GaSb-based material systems, giving access to a wavelength range of 620 nm to 3.5 µm. The nonlinearity and saturation properties of the SESAM can be accurately tailored to specific laser systems independent on the wavelength range: the nonlinear absorption can be varied from below 0.5% to over 90%, while the saturation fluences range from 10 µJ/cm2 to above 100 µJ/cm2. The relaxation time can be customized from sub-ps to ns range to fit the specific application. Contact us for the optimal customized SESAM for your application. |
