Chromatis™ production-grade test instrument is designed specifically to measure group delay dispersion in optical components for femtosecond applications. It is a broadband optical test instrument that quickly and accurately characterizes the full dispersive properties of optical components and coatings. Carefully managing optical dispersion is critical for optimal performance of ultrafast laser systems, multi-layer mirrors, and multiple quantum well structures. Chromatis is user friendly, self-calibrating, and highly accurate.
