Laser Research Optics Unveils New Laser Beam Splitters
Laser Research Optics, a prominent name in the optics industry, recently introduced a diverse range of laser beam splitters designed to enhance laser applications across various industries. These splitters come in an impressive array of sizes suitable for laser systems starting from 100 Watts, marking a significant advancement in the field of laser technology.
Product Features and Specifications
The new laser beam splitters are crafted from high-quality Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) and are available with either S or P polarization coatings. These coatings play a crucial role in modifying the reflectance of the splitters, ensuring that they meet specific requirements in applications where precision is key. Each splitter is clearly marked with an arrow on the outer diameter (O.D.) surface, indicating the orientation for optimal use where surface “1” is concerned.
Designed to function effectively at a 45-degree angle of incidence and specifically for a wavelength of 10.6 microns, these products cater to contemporary demands for flexibility and precision in laser applications. Sizes range from 0.25 inches to 3 inches in O.D., alongside various thickness options catered to diverse operational needs.
Precision Manufacturing Standards
These beam splitters are manufactured under stringent precision standards: surface “1” is coated to achieve a 50% ±3% reflectance while surface “2” features an anti-reflective coating, attaining a maximum reflectance of only 0.25%. Furthermore, the surface finish adheres to a specification of 40-20 scratch-dig according to MIL-O-13830. The flatness is calibrated to a maximum of one-fortieth of a wavelength at 10.6 microns, ensuring superior performance. Additionally, the parallelism is maintained at a maximum of 3 Arc/mins, further validating the quality of these optical devices.
Pricing and Availability
Laser Research Optics has indicated that the pricing of these beam splitters varies based on size and quantity ordered, making them accessible to a broad customer base working in different sectors—whether in industrial settings, educational institutions, or advanced research facilities. Popular sizes are kept in stock, ensuring quick fulfillment of customer orders.
A Step Forward in Laser Technology
The introduction of these new laser beam splitters marks a notable step forward in laser technology. With their carefully engineered design and high manufacturing standards, they are set to empower professionals in their laser applications, optimizing performance and ensuring accuracy in operations.
