Broadband optical metrology system from KMLabs measures group delay dispersion

Jan. 21, 2013

The Chromatis broadband optical metrology system measures group delay dispersion (GDD) with ±5 fs2 resolution in optical components and coatings, which is important for ultrafast laser systems, multilayer mirrors, and multiple quantum-well structures.

The Chromatis broadband optical metrology system measures group delay dispersion (GDD) with ±5 fs² resolution in optical components and coatings, which is important for ultrafast laser systems, multilayer mirrors, and multiple quantum-well structures. A helium neon (HeNe) reference laser performs automated, self-calibration of all measurements, while reference optics enable reflection and transmission modes of operation. The system measures both polarizations simultaneously.

PRESS RELEASE

Chromatis is the first and only production-grade test instrument designed specifically to address measurements of group delay dispersion in optical components. It is a broadband optical test instrument that quickly and accurately characterizes the full dispersive properties of optical components and coatings. Carefully managing optical dispersion is critical for optimal performance of ultrafast laser systems, multi-layer mirrors, and multiple quantum well structures. Chromatis is user friendly, self-calibrating, and highly accurate.
