Applications
Laser Pulse Compression
High-efficiency, high-quality diffracted wavefront in a robust package
Wasatch Photonics enhanced VPH gratings excel at pulse compression and stretching for high-power ultrafast lasers. Our ultraclear transmissive gratings offer market-leading efficiency with minimal ghosting or scatter, and can be easily handled and cleaned. Online gratings are available, or we can collaborate on custom OEM designs from prototype to volume production.
Optical Coherence Tomography
Consistent efficiency with wavelength and polarization
Our HD VPH gratings deliver high efficiency for all polarizations across a 100–200 nm bandwidth, enabling clearer, deeper SD-OCT images. Trusted by OEMs from concept to launch, our transmissive gratings enable compact, high-efficiency OCT systems with minimal stray light for faster, higher-quality imaging. Our most popular OCT gratings are available through the online shop or we can collaborate on custom designs.
Hyperspectral Imaging
Enabling compact, broad bandwidth, diffraction-limited optical designs
Our transmissive VPH gratings are more efficient, lower scattering and more robust than reflective ruled gratings. Thereby, enabling smaller, low-aberration and easy-to-align hyperspectral instruments.
Using our patented technologies, we optimize gratings for bandwidth, low polarization sensitivity and high throughput transmission. Online shop gratings are available or you can choose to collaborate with our expert team on OEM designs from 300–2500 nm.
Astronomy
Trusted to deliver field proven, high efficiency gratings
Wasatch Photonics designs and manufactures industry-leading astronomy specific VPH gratings, ideal for low-light applications. More efficient, lower scatter and more robust than reflective ruled gratings, they enable compact, low-aberration, easy-to-align instruments.
With years of large-format imaging expertise, we supply gratings for studying chemical composition, velocity, density, and temperature of celestial objects, used in spectrographs worldwide.
Spectroscopy
Exceptional first-order efficiency and low stray light VPH gratings
Wasatch Photonics builds industry-leading Raman and fluorescence spectrometers using transmissive VPH gratings, which offer up to 40% higher efficiency and much lower scatter than reflective ruled gratings. Encapsulated for robustness, they are easy to handle and clean, enabling smaller, low-aberration, easy-to-align instruments.
Our patented technologies optimize bandwidth, polarization insensitivity and transmission. Browse our online shop or contact us for OEM and custom gratings.
