SAVANNA
Hollow-Core Fiber Compressor
Our standard hollow-core fiber (HCF) compressor SAVANNA shortens the duration of the input laser pulses. Based on compression after spectral broadening, the spectral bandwidth is first broadened through nonlinear interaction of high-energy femtosecond pulses with a noble gas inside a hollow-core fiber. The resulting supercontinuum pulses are then compressed using ultra-broadband chirped mirrors, resulting in pulses 5-6 times shorter than the original input.
SAVANNA combines high transmission and unique ultra-broadband compression.
For those interested in high-power laser compression, a stretched-flexible hollow-core fiber, or higher compression factors, we recommend you having a look at SAVANNA-HP.
