Our chirped volume Bragg grating (CVBG) technology offers a breakthrough in pulse compression and chromatic dispersion control for systems that rely on ultrafast laser pulses, such as chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser systems and applications in telecom/datacom. By precisely varying (“chirping”) the grating period within the volume Bragg grating, our CVBGs enable pulse stretching, re-compression, and dispersion correction without the complexity or bulk of traditional grating or prism-based approaches. Compact, robust, power-scalable, and stable, CVBGs simplify ultrafast and dispersion-control system design while maintaining exceptional performance. This innovative approach allows you to:
​

• Boost Peak Power: Stretch a low-power pulse, amplify its energy, and then re-compress it into a high-intensity, ultrashort pulse, all while staying safely below the damage threshold of your optical components.   

• Achieve Precision & Purity: With our CVBGs, you can achieve superior pulse compression and precisely correct for chromatic dispersion.  This ensures a cleaner, more precise laser output and a higher-quality beam for demanding applications such as telecommunications, datacom, or fibre-based multi-photon spectroscopy.

• Simplify Your System: Our CVBG pulse compressors are compact, robust, and require no active cooling, offering a more stable and reliable alternative to traditional grating pairs or prisms. This reduces the size, complexity, and cost of your laser system.
