27 Mar 2006 ARO Introduces Two New High Performance Mirrors for Ultrafast Lasers Alpine Research Optics (ARO, Boulder, CO) has introduced two new series of mirrors intended for demanding beam steering tasks in Ti:S ultrafast laser applications. The new B-Max series mirrors are optimized to deliver the broadest possible bandwidth (>99.8% reflectivity from 735 nm to 880 nm), while the E-Max high reflectors are specifically optimized to attain the highest pulse energy damage threshold. Both coatings are designed to maintain transform limited pulse performance by minimizing group velocity dispersion (GVD) and third order dispersion (TOD).
B-Max and E-Max coated mirrors are available as stock products at either 0° or 45° angle of incidence, on both 25 mm (1 inch) and 50 mm (2 inch) diameter fused silica substrates. In addition to these standard components, ARO can readily customize these coatings in terms of center wavelength, bandwidth and dispersion characteristics, and can also fabricate these mirrors on a broad range of substrate materials and sizes.
