Alpine Research Optics

ARO’s optical beamsplitters are engineered for high damage thresholds, low wavefront distortions, and absorptions. We are a premium supplier for solid-state, excimer, and ultrafast laser systems. 

We have expertise in producing the following: 

• Solid-state laser partial reflectors specifically designed to deliver high peak power damage threshold and low loss, without sacrificing mechanical durability.
• Excimer laser partial reflectors that provide low loss, excellent mechanical durability, and high pulse count lifetime, even at deep UV wavelengths.
• Ultrafast laser partial reflectors that possess the optimum combination of broad spectral bandwidth, minimum group velocity dispersion (GVD), low scatter, and peak pulse power damage resistance.

ARO offers optical polarizers with narrow and broadband options. UV polarizers are a great low-cost polarizer option for your laser application. In addition to catalog, we provided modified stock and custom UV polarizer down to 193 nm. We also offer the IR polarizer (infrared). ARO offers thin-film polarizers that supply the top performance in Ti:Sapphire amplifiers. Multiple round trips in the amplifier have a multiplying effect on the characteristics of any optic in the cavity. We achieve high-energy polarizers performance through advanced coating design and superior technology. 

Ultrafast Mirrors 

Standard optical mirrors, may not be the optimal option for ultrafast applications. Standard coatings will induce interference effects that will be harmful to ultrashort pulses.
