Pulse Compression Transmission Gratings

High output power femtosecond lasers require sophisticated chirped pulse amplification (CPA) setups. t
Pulse compressors using dielectric gratings in Littrow
mounting show very high efficiencies and lifetimes in
such CPA setups.
Jenoptik dielectric pulse compression gratings are highly
efficient and durable under high laser power densities.
The efficiency advantage over metal gratings results in
more than 20% additional output power in a typical t
CPA setup with four grating passes.
The Jenoptik pulse compression gratings are made t
of high-purity fused silica and are thus well suited t
for a broad wavelength range.

Features:
•t Fused silica transmission grating
•t High diffraction efficiency
•t High uniformity of efficiency
•t Low thermal wavefront distortion by the use t
of non-absorbing dielectric material
•t Monolithic fused silica design for highest damage
threshold and lifetime
•t Low Self Phase Modulation (SPM)
•t Custom designs with short delivery time
Applications:
•t Laser pulse compression in chirped pulse amplifiers
(CPA)
•t Intracavity Dispersion Control
•t Wavelength selection and bandwidth narrowing
•t UV laser applications
