Dispersion-Compensating Prism
Features:
•Apex Angle Tolerance: ±15 arcmin
•Surface Flatness: λ/4 at 633 nm
•Use to Compensate for Dispersion
•Fabricated from CaF2, Fused Silica, SF10, or N-SF14
These Dispersion-Compensating Prism Pairs are designed to compensate for the pulse broadening effects that occur in ultrafast laser systems without introducing significant power losses. Four large-index-of-refraction prism materials are offered to provide various group velocity dispersion (GVD) values, thereby compensating for different pulse dispersion conditions.
Applications:
Prism pairs such as these have multiple applications. They can be used to create an optical filter; simply insert a knife edge to attenuate the short- or long-wavelength components. If the prism pair is placed inside a laser resonator, they can be used for wavelength tuning. Alternatively, prism pairs can be used for dispersion compensation. Each time light passes through the optical elements within a laser cavity, positive (commonly referred to as normal) dispersion occurs. The prism pair also contributes positive dispersion.
