FEMTOOPTICS – New catalogue out for 2015/2016

FEMTOLASERS has released the latest 2015/2016 version of its popular catalogue for the FEMTOOPTICS™ line of premier optical components. The range fully supports ultrafast applications and helps to exploit the capabilities of femtosecond lasers by covering the entire beam path – from source to target and from generation to detection. Products include:

  • Negative dispersive mirrors
  • Low dispersive optics
  • Ultra broadband optics

Highlights include:

  • GDD-optimised fluorescence filters
  • Octave-spanning, GDD-minimised dichroic filters – enabling the implementation of sub-7-fs pulses in nonlinear microscopy
  • Components for the visible – 450-700 nm for use with sub-7 fs pulses
  • Broadband dispersive mirrors
  • Low dispersion beam-splitters

FEMTOOPTICS™ – designed for ease-of-use to allow you to focus on your application and nothing else. Download the catalogue here.

Polarization Dependent Loss is Dominant Performance-limiting Factor

Taliescent PPLS Artefact

Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) is the dominant performance-limiting factor of high speed optical networks with per-channel bit rates of 10 Gb/s or more, so Elliot Scientific offers solutions for simulation and reduction of PDL in fibre optic networks, and solutions for PMD simulation, from globally renowned calibration artefact supplier Taliescent.

PDL is present to a varied extent in nearly every fibre optic component. In itself, PDL can be detrimental to the performance of both fibre optic telecommunications and test & measurement systems, but it can also interact with Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and lead to increased uncertainty in bit error rates.
