CALDERA is an enhancement cavity tailored to your setup, supporting both continuous-wave (CW) and multi-kW-level average-power pulsed operation.

Built around UFI's ultra-low-loss optical-coating technology and precision opto-mechanics, CALDERA enables coherent power buildup for nonlinear conversion, intracavity HHG, gravitational-wave-detector R&D, optical-frequency-comb stabilization, and resonant absorption spectroscopy.

Key Product Features

Tailored to your laser source and experimental geometry
CW and pulsed operation supported (single device)
Multi-kW intracavity average power capability
Single-ppm-loss mirrors (compatible with UFI's GLACIER-characterized coatings)
Customizable mirror coatings for desired wavelength range
Active or passive locking (PDH / fringe-side / dither)
Compact bench-top to vacuum-compatible configurations

Applications

Intracavity high-harmonic generation
Frequency-comb stabilization & spectroscopy
Gravitational-wave-detector mirror R&D
Resonant absorption / cavity-enhanced spectroscopy
Power-buildup for nonlinear conversion

Developed at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics. UFI is a spin-off from LMU Munich and the Max Planck Society.
