Knight Optical’s Low GDD Ultrafast Laser Mirrors

25 Aug 2022

Knight Optical’s Low GDD Ultrafast Laser Mirrors are ideal for demanding laser applications, especially where femtosecond ultrafast lasers are utilised.

Our product catalogue consists of laser mirrors optimised for the fundamental and second harmonic (SHG) emissions of Ytterbium (Yb) doped lasers including diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) and fiber lasers, and therefore have a design wavelength of either 515nm or 1030nm.  

Their key features include:

  • Ion beam sputtered (IBS) coating which is compact and durable.
  • Reflection > 99.9% within their wavelength range of either 500-530nm or 1010-1050nm.
  • Available as 0° and 45° angle of incidence
  • Exhibit minimal group delay dispersion (GDD) to prevent pulse broadening
  • High laser induced damage threshold (LIDT)
  • Precision flatness and surface quality to minimise laser scattering

All of the above are important criteria for mirrors used to form a laser resonator, making these laser mirrors ideal.
