Compressor mirrors for 1450 nm

Compressor mirrors for few-cycle pulses at 1450 nm. The mirrors are design to compensate both GDD and TOD at a given central wavelength. The dispersion per bounce is -30fs² and -350fs³ at 1450 nm. The central wavelength can be tuned in the rage 1200 nm - 1600 nm by changing the number of mirror bounces and employing Fused Silica, Calcium Fluoride or other glasses for the fine tuning.
