Buying Ultrafast Optics
Ultrafast optics involves optical components specifically designed or optimized for ultrafast laser systems. These elements are tailored to handle ultrashort pulses, minimizing detrimental effects such as chromatic dispersion and optical nonlinearities. They can also be engineered to introduce a controlled amount of dispersion for precise pulse manipulation.
