GLACIER®-C — Supercontinuum Cavity-Ringdown Reflectometer (Broadband Loss Metrology)

RoHS REACH

GLACIER®-C is a broadband version of the GLACIER® reflectometer, replacing single-wavelength CW lasers with a supercontinuum light source. This enables continuous-spectrum reflectivity / transmission measurements across a wide wavelength range — ideal for characterizing chirped-mirror coatings, dispersion-compensated mirrors, and ultra-broadband optics that require spectrum-resolved metrology.

GLACIER-C inherits the single-ppm precision of the GLACIER platform but provides full-spectrum data in a single measurement, eliminating the need for multiple discrete-wavelength runs.

Key Product Features

  • Single-ppm sensitivity across full broadband spectrum
