Abstract

The characterization of laser mirrors is important for obtaining proper performance of femtosecond lasers. Characteristics of laser mirrors are usually described in terms of their reflectivity at a certain wavelength. In femtosecond laser applications, however, the dispersion property of the mirror should be considered because the temporal shape of a femtosecond light pulse changes during the reflection at the mirrors.
