Abstract
We report the first demonstration of Ultra Broad Band Thin Film Plate Polarizers (UBB-TFP) for femtosecond (fs) / wide band tunable solid-state lasers. By increasing the angle of incidence from the Brewster’s angle, we were able to produce very efficient TFPs. Such polarizers dramatically improve the tunability of femtosecond regenerative amplifiers.
