Saturable absorber mirrors (SAM) are the key components for generation of ultrashort pulses in the picosecond and femtosecond range in mode-locked lasers.

BATOP offers a wide range of saturable absorber mirrors for mode locking of solid state, fiber and thin disk lasers starting at a wavelength of 800 nm up to 3 µm. Furthermore, our portfolio covers saturable absorbers (SA) without Bragg mirror for transmission applications such as mode locking of e.g. fiber ring lasers, as well as saturable output couplers (SOC) combining a saturable absorber and an output coupler in one device.
