Choosing the right optical elements for your mid-infrared laser applications

Laser systems operating in near infrared (from 0.75 μm to 1 μm) and short-wave infrared (between 0.9 μm and 2.5 μm) are widely used in many applications. As a result, laser experts are well acquainted with the common optical components such as lenses, windows, beam splitters, mirrors, polarizers and filters. Materials such as fused silica, BK7,…

Femtosecond, tunable pulses in the mid-IR: A close look at the Femtum Ultratune 3400

Working with lasers in the mid-infrared has never been straight forward. Even in the most advance laser labs, mid-infrared laser experiments are about losing most of your time in aligning and adjusting the laser parameters rather than focusing on the intended application. Until now, the lack of simple mid-IR sources has dramatically slowed down scientific…
