Where to Buy Ultrafast Optics

Shalom EO offers ultrafast optical components used in femtosecond lasers, with both off-the-shelf and optics with custom dimensions available. Our product portfolio includes low GDD mirrors with central wavelength of 800 nm and 1030 nm, BBO crystals with minimum thickness of 0.01 mm, LBO crystals, ultrafast-enhanced silver mirrors with high reflectivity at 600–1000 nm and thin BK7 and UV-grade fused silica windows with high flatness, dispersive prisms made of BK7, UVFS and SF11 and group delay compensators made from calcite. Please check our website for more specification data.

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).

Thorlabs manufactures a wide range of laser optics specifically designed for ultrafast applications, including mirrors with a specialized coating optimized for use with femtosecond Ti:sapphire lasers, low GDD beamsplitters and mirrors, and chirped mirrors. To precisely characterize the dispersion of ultrafast optics over the 500 – 1650 nm range, consider Thorlabs’ Chromatis dispersion measurement system with the InGaAs detector add-on option.

LASEROPTIK designs and produces various kinds of dispersive coatings, including chirped mirrors and matched pairs of chirped mirrors, also all other kinds of coated optics for dispersion management like GTI mirrors. We use Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) for highest quality and widely ranging dispersion measurement setups for precise characterization.

UltraFast Innovations (UFI) offers the CAPELLA Light Field Synthesizer, the first commercial device of that kind, enabling the synthesis and sub-femtosecond control of super-octave light transients.

Besides, UltraFast Innovations (UFI) has a wide range of optical components which are suitable for ultrafast optics, e.g. mirrors and spectral filters.

OPTOMAN designs and manufactures application-optimized ultrafast optics: dispersive mirrors (chirped and GTI design), low GDD ultrafast broadband and laser line mirrors. OPTOMAN focuses exclusively on IBS technology, which allows to sputter coatings exhibit excellent resistance to laser irradiation and meet cutting edge spectral requirements.

Standard in-stock IBS coated ultrafast optics can be found in OPTOSHOP.
