Short specification of product:

 

Development and fabrication of special fused silica hollow taper

 

High power, few-cycle pulses play a prominent role in ultrafast science. The corresponding laser systems incorporate a compression stage, where the spectrum of the amplified pulses is broadened via nonlinear optical effects. For spectral broadening of energetic pulses, the hollow fiber technique has become the standard method. A stretched, flexible hollow capillary represents virtually ideal waveguide properties at arbitrary fiber length, therefore hold great promise for efficient generation of few-cycle pulse on the multi-mJ level. An inherent property of stretched capillaries is their small wall thickness, which however may lead to rapid deterioration of the input face.

A solution to this problem is to place a thick-walled fused silica hollow taper in front of the waveguide. Such a taper should have a specific geometry to ensure loss-free beam propagation and a bore size carefully matched to the core diameter of the hollow waveguide. For these reasons the fabrication of this taper represents a great technical challenge.
