Product Description
The Newport Prism Compressor (PC) for Ultrashort Pulses is an easy to assemble setup to deliver the shortest pulse to your sample or device. A typical femtosecond pulse can have anywhere from 5 to 100 nm of bandwidth around the center wavelength of the laser. When a femtosecond pulse with that much bandwidth passes through any optical material such as a lens, beam-splitter, or Faraday isolator, it will experience pulse broadening due to group velocity dispersion (GVD). The good news is that the pulse broadening effects of GVD can be reversed and recompressed by using pairs of prisms, gratings or chirped mirrors.
