Laser Research Optics Unveils CO₂ Laser Mirrors for Adverse Environments

Developer of hard crystalline materials, Laser Research Optics has manufactured a complete range of CO₂ laser reflectors and mirrors using molybdenum and silicon. The units are manufactured without or with coatings and are suitable for adverse environments.

The CO₂ laser mirrors are provided with uncoated molybdenum for adverse environments and silicon for general-purpose usage with improved DMBR or copper coatings. They are also offered in copper with gold coatings that are ideal for high-power solutions. The laser mirrors are ideal field replacement for low and high-power CO₂ lasers. They have a tolerance of -0.005”/+0.000” and are available in sizes ranging from 1 to 3”. The thickness of the mirrors ranges between 2 and 10 mm.

The laser mirrors are optimized for 10.6µm @t 45°AOI and meet the ISO-10110 and OEM specifications. The silicon mirrors deliver scatter and adsorption losses of less than 2% whereas the molybdenum mirrors attain an average reflectance of over 98.1% with scatter and adsorption of less than 1.9%. The company also offers phase and total retardation reflectors.
