OPO coatings
Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPO) also convert radiation of femtosecond lasers and allow tunable lasing in other wavelength ranges (see here). This conversion introduces more optical components into the total system and consequently more GDD that has to be managed. The diagrams demonstrate some examples of GDD optimized OPO coatings.
Examples
If not mentioned otherwise, all values and diagrams are given
... for the standard substrate material used in the described wavelength area (mostly Fused Silica or CaF2).
... without consideration of the rear surface.
... with EBE coating technique for a good cost-performance ratio.
Customized coatings are available for all types.
