Integrated High Power Optomechanics
Integrated high power components for setup of free-space lasers by laser engineers or OEMs almost with the simplicity and robustness of fiber lasers. Integrated electronics allows tight environmental control along the beam path. Standard or customized modules are available upon request. Please contact us for more information.
D+G offers various optomechanical modules* with standarized interface for the setup of a unique and customized thin disk regenerative amplifier. Such modules include the thin disk pump module, a double V-module for guiding the beam two times over the thin disk gain medium (including a TFP for output coupling), a Pockels cell module for switching the polarization of the laser beam, a beam shaping module for easy adjustment of the resonator to the curvature of the thin disk, an Etalon module for decreasing the bandwidth of the pulses inside the resonator and a SHG/THG module for wavelength conversion.

F.A.Q.
Do not hesitate to contact us for any thin disk related question. It is our goal to support thin disk technology in science and industry.
I have a seed laser and want to amplify it. Is this possible?
Yes, depending on the pulse energy, either a regenerative amplifier or linear amplifier is best suited. Please let us know the details. Our amplifier systems are operated with Yb:YAG, so only amplification with a center wavelength of 1030 nm is possible.
Does the Thin Disk Module (TDM) include a pump diode?
Our thin disk modules are prepared for fiber coupling of the pump diode. If you want to buy a pump diode and/or chiller along with the pump module, please let us know.
Can I visit D+G for a lab-tour?
Of course, we are welcoming every customer for a company tour. We also offer hands-on introduction to our thin disk modules.
