For ultrafast applications where dispersion must be well known and managed, Thorlabs’ portfolio includes a robust benchtop white light interferometer for characterizing reflective and transmissive dispersive properties of optics and coatings. Thorlabs manufactures a suite of options for dispersion management, including pre-compensation modules, dispersion compensating fiber, chirped mirrors, and low GDD optics. This solution extends Thorlabs’ existing collection of deformable mirrors and adaptive optics.

With the introduction of the OM6N series of high-speed optical modulators, Thorlabs has designed and manufactured a new all-reflective technology based on deformable mirrors for modulating laser power in the 700 – 1350 nm range. The Chromatis compliments our ultrafast family of lasers, amplifiers, and specialized optics including chirped mirrors, low GDD mirrors/beamsplitters, and dispersion compensating fiber. The Chromatis™ dispersion measurement system covers 500 – 1650 nm, providing a means for measuring optics used for common femtosecond systems, including Ti:sapphire systems as well as 1 µm and 1550 nm oscillators.

Thorlabs manufactures a robust benchtop white light interferometer for characterizing reflective and transmissive dispersive properties of optics and coatings designed for ultrafast applications. 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. Thorlabs manufactures a wide range of laser optics specifically designed for ultrafast applications, including mirrors with a specialized coating optimized for use with fs Ti:sapphire lasers, low GDD beamsplitters and mirrors, and chirped mirrors. This autocorrelator for use with femtosecond lasers compliments our ultrafast family of lasers, amplifiers, and specialized optics, including chirped mirrors, low GDD mirrors/beamsplitters, and dispersion compensating fiber. The FSAC benchtop interferometric autocorrelator manufactured by Thorlabs is designed to characterize ultrafast pulse durations from 10 – 1,000 fs in the 650 – 1100 nm range.
