These Low Group Delay Dispersion (GDD) Ultrafast Mirrors provide high reflectance and low group delay dispersion in the 460 - 590 nm range. This wavelength range is optimized for the second harmonic of Ytterbium (Yb) and Neodymium (Nd) lasers. These mirrors are ideal for applications where pulse broadening is a concern and are designed for a 45° angle of incidence. The dielectric coating is applied with an ion-beam-sputtering (IBS) technique, providing a highly controlled and durable dielectric thin film coating.

These mirrors offer an ideal combination of greater than 99% reflectance and less than 30 fs² GDD. For details, please see the Graphs tab.

Our low GDD mirrors are available with either a 1/2" or 1" diameter. The edge of each optic is engraved with the item number and an arrowhead pointing to the coated surface. The back surface of these mirrors is polished so that the small percentage of light that leaks through the reflective coating may be used for applications such as power monitoring.

In addition to the low GDD mirrors here, Thorlabs also offers low GDD mirrors for various other wavelength ranges. For mirrors designed for the fundamental harmonic of Nd:YAG lasers, see our Low GDD Ultrafast Mirrors for 950 - 1170 nm. For our full selection of optics for ultrafast applications, please see the Ultrafast Optics tab.

The graphs below are theoretical results of the reflectance and the group delay dispersion and represent typical performance of the coating. Both plots are shown for an AOI of 45°.

Dear Mr(s). Do you have the damage threshold data for this mirrors? I am particularly interested in the 515nm wavelength in the nano- and femto- second regimes. How they compare with the UM10-Y2HP?

Hello, please see our comment below (dated 2018-10-04) on the damage thresholds of these mirrors. The test parameters were 200 fs pulses at 200 kHz rep rate. Unfortunately, we do not have data for ns regimes at the moment, so we suggest following the same damage threshold guidelines as the femtosecond regime.

Please you provide the damage threshold for these mirrors. I am particularly interested in using these mirrors with a 517 nm expanded to 8 mm diameter beam, up to 4 nJ per pulse, PRF 75 MHz.

Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. While we have not yet obtained conclusive damage threshold test data on these mirrors yet, we do expect it to be on the order of 0.06 to 0.10 J/cm^2 at that wavelength.

Thorlabs offers a wide selection of optics optimized for use with femtosecond and picosecond laser pulses. Please see below for more information.
