Fine Tune Dispersion Over a Wide Dynamic Range

Because of the relatively small angle and large length of these optical wedges, dispersion can be finely tuned over a wide dynamic range. By using a pair of wedges, angular dispersion can be avoided. Popular applications include high harmonic generation, attosecond pulse generation, CEP (Carrier Envelope Phase) or applications using wedges in conjunction with high dispersion mirrors. 

Pairs of ultra thin wedges allow fine, continuous tuning of the GDD. The extremely accurate GDD control enabled by thin glass wedges in conjunction with broadband dispersive mirrors is indispensable for the generation and manipulation of sub-10 femtosecond pulses.

Special care and attention should be taken when handling these ultrathin optics.  Any small mishap may bring irreparable harm to the wedge.  Handle at your own risk.

Typical GDD for 23RQ12-02

Typical GDD vs material insertion for the 20 x 30 mm ultra thin wedges with 2° 48' wedge angle.

Typical GDD for 25RB12-01UF.AR2

Typical GDD vs material insertion for the 20 x 50 mm ultra thin wedges with 8° wedge angle.

Easy Mounting for Mounted Version

The mounted versions of the wedges fit easily into Newport's 1- or 0.5-in. diameter mirror mounts or lens holders. The wedges are offered with or without coating. A broadband antireflection coating minimizes insertion losses at near normal incidences.  Additional insertion losses can be minimized using the wedges at Brewster's angle. The mounting example seen includes the 25RB12-01UF.AR2-M optical wedge in the U100-A2K Ultima Mirror Mount.

Mounted Wedges Setup Example

The Mounted Wedges Setup is a precision optical system designed for fine dispersion and Carrier Envelope Phase (CEP) tuning in ultrafast laser applications. Using ultrathin glass wedge pairs with broadband antireflection coatings, this setup enables continuous group delay dispersion (GDD) control over a wide dynamic range. Available in two wedge angles and sizes, the system integrates seamlessly into standard optical mounts for compact and stable alignment. Please see our Dual Wedge Fine GDD and CEP Tuning application set-up page for the complete parts list.
