Dispersive Mirrors

OPTOMAN’s IBS-coated Dispersive Mirrors are engineered to precisely manage dispersion in ultrafast laser systems, enabling tight control over temporal characteristics of the pulse. By introducing carefully controlled chromatic dispersion, these mirrors compensate for dispersive effects caused by other optical components, offering a compact, alignment-insensitive alternative to bulky prism or grating compressors.

Depending on the design, dispersive mirrors can operate as Gires–Tournois Interferometer (GTI) mirrors, where dispersion arises from interference effects within an off-resonant optical resonator, or as Chirped Mirrors, which utilize wavelength-dependent penetration depth to tailor the delay. Compared to gratings or prisms, highly dispersive mirrors offer reduced higher-order dispersion. For broader bandwidths (>100 nm), Chirped Mirror Pairs with out-of-phase GDD oscillations enable smoother, oscillation-free compression.
