Pulse compression gratings
Fused silica transmission gratings handle your energy.
As femtosecond laser systems evolve toward higher energy levels, the demands on pulse compression gratings for energy and power handling continue to grow. Ibsen's 100% fused silica Pulse Compression Gratings are engineered to meet these challenges, delivering exceptional energy and power tolerance alongside high efficiency and minimal wavefront distortion.
Ibsen's pulse compression gratings are fabricated using advanced lithographic or holographic stepper patterning combined with reactive ion etching in 100% dielectric materials. This technology provides unmatched energy and power handling capability, with no polymers, epoxies, gelatins, or metals in the optical path – or anywhere in the grating structure.
