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.
