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.

![]() The Future Depends on Optics Edmund Optics101 East Gloucester Pike Barrington, NJ 08007 United States | ![]() Edmund Optics provides a breadth of ultrafast optics, including low GDD ultrafast mirrors, highly dispersive ultrafast mirrors, compression prisms, reflective objectives and beam expanders, and nonlinear crystals. These products are designed for common femtosecond lasers, including Ti:sapphire, Yb:doped fiber, thulium (Tm), and holmium (Ho). |
![]() Your reliable partner for photonics innovations! EKSMA Optics, UABDvarcioniu St. 2B LT-10233 Vilnius Lithuania | ![]() Our Femtoline laser optics are tailored for applications with high power ultrashort laser pulses. This series includes low group delay dispersion (GDD) laser mirrors, broadband mirrors, high power laser mirrors and group velocity dispersion (GVD) compensation plates. |
![]() (4Lasers) Mokslininku str. 6B 08412 Vilnius Lithuania | ![]() Low GDD ultrafast mirrors from Optogama exhibit high reflectance with minimal group delay dispersion (GDD) in a certain range of wavelengths and angles of incidence. These mirrors eliminate ultrashort optical pulse broadening effects and maintain high peak power as compared to ordinary high reflectivity laser mirrors. Our low GDD ultrafast mirrors are suitable for Ti:sapphire, Nd:glass or ytterbium-doped host based femtosecond lasers. |
![]() Your sidekick for laser optics development OPTOMANUkmerges g. 427 14185 Vilnius Lithuania | ![]() OPTOMAN designs and manufactures application-optimized ultrafast optics: dispersive mirrors (chirped and GTI design) and low GDD ultrafast mirrors. OPTOMAN focuses exclusively on IBS technology, which allows to sputter coatings that exhibit excellent resistance to laser irradiation and meet cutting edge spectral requirements. Standard in-stock IBS coated ultrafast optics can be found in OPTOSHOP. |
![]() YOUR KEY to innovation and success UltraFast Innovations GmbHDieselstr. 5 85748 Garching (München) Germany | ![]() CAPELLA, the light field synthesizer from UltraFast Innovations (UFI®), is the first of its kind offered commercially. It enables the synthesis and sub-femtosecond control of super-octave light transients. Moreover, UFI offers a wide range of optical components suitable for ultrafast optics, e.g., mirrors and spectral filters. |
