VPH Gratings for Pulse Compression

VPH Gratings for Pulse Compression

Create shorter, more powerful laser pulses

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Exceptional 1STorder diffraction efficiency
• High transmission over the full spectral band
• Low wavefront distortion, minimal scatter
• Uniform diffraction efficiency over the full clear aperture for minimal beam distortion
•  Ideal for high pulse energy applications
• Robust design allows easy cleaning
• Maximum optical design flexibility

     Our efficiency & uniformity can take you to higher power. Wasatch Photonics’ enhanced volume phase holographic (VPH) gratings are exceptional for pulse compression and pulse stretching of high power ultrafast lasers. Our ultraclear transmissive gratings have the highest efficiency on the market, with virtually no ghosting or scatter. Unlike surface relief gratings, our gratings can be easily cleaned and handled. Choose from our range of stock gratings, or contact us to discuss custom OEM designs and materials. We are your partner, from small quantity prototyping through to volume production.

More efficiency & uniformity; less wavefront distortion.

       Our volume phase holographic gratings are unmatched in performance, and offer greater durability than conventional surface relief gratings. Our proprietary process encapsulates the grating structure in a robust package, facilitating handling and easy cleaning. Many designers use transmissive pulse compression cavity designs for their flexible, compact, often folded layouts. Our uniform efficiency, minimal scatter, and low wavefront distortion ensure they get the shortest, cleanest pulses.

We measure every transmissive VPH grating to ensure exceptional 1st order diffraction efficiency. Many other vendors report only theoretical graphs of total diffraction efficiency. This includes diffraction into other orders, and is not truly representative of actual performance.
