Optical Components for Femtosecond Lasers

Femtosecond Laser is a kind of ultra-fast pulsed laser with a pulse duration of less than 1ps, which is in the domain of femtoseconds, such short laser pulse is often achieved through passive mode-locking techniques.  Femtosecond lasers can in general be categorized into solid-state bulk lasers, fiber lasers, dye lasers, semiconductor lasers, etc. Femtosecond lasers concentrate the energies on a very short time scale within a single laser pulse, enabling femtosecond lasers to achieve remarkable precision with minimal thermal damage to the surrounding material. This unique characteristic makes them invaluable in various applications, including micromachining, ophthalmic surgeries, biomedical imaging, and ultrafast spectroscopies. 

Optical components are critical for shaping, manipulating, and directing the ultra-short pulses emitted by femtosecond lasers. Unlike conventional continuous-wave lasers, femtosecond lasers produce pulses with extraordinarily high peak powers and broad spectral bandwidths, requiring optical components that can transmit, manipulate, and control light across a wide range of wavelengths and time scales with high efficiencies.
