Learn about Edmund Optics' ultrafast laser optics capabilities in this interview with Tony Karam from the PhotonicsNEXT Summit in January 2021.

Pulse Compression and Dispersion Compensation for Ultrafast Lasers

The short pulse durations of ultrafast lasers lead to broad wavelength bandwidths, making ultrafast systems especially susceptible to dispersion and pulse broadening.

Join representatives from Edmund Optics, TOPTICA Photonics, and Rochester Institute of Technology for a virtual discussion about the key benefits of ultrafast lasers and how they are revolutionizing fields as diverse as brain imaging and glass polishing.

The short pulse durations of ultrafast lasers make them interact with optical components differently, impacting the optic’s laser damage threshold.

Specialized coatings can minimize thermal lensing in ultrafast laser systems, which are particularly susceptible to detrimental thermal effects.

Industry-leading laser optics are more available than ever before through the partnership of UltraFast Innovations and Edmund Optics.

Learn how Highly-Dispersive Mirrors compensate for dispersion and compress pulse duration in ultrafast laser systems, which is critical for maximizing performance.

Edmund Optics® manufactures thousands of precision aspheric lenses per month in our asphere manufacturing cell that operates 24 hours a day

Master the fundamentals of ultrafast lasers and how to choose optics that can withstand their high powers and short pulse durations.
