Mirrors for Ultraviolet Lasers
- Size range from 3 mm up to 360 mm.
- Optimization for Ultrafast applications.
- Spectral range from 200 nm.
Inspired by the challenge industrial players in the micromachining and semiconductor markets face - short lifetime of laser optics, OPTOMAN has done quite a unique thing – optimized the IBS coating process to make low absorption and high longevity dielectric optical components for Ultraviolet lasers. Ultraviolet Lasers and their optics are so tricky that OPTOMAN likes to call them Ultra Viole[n]t. One of the problems is that scattering and absorption losses need to be well managed to ensure a high degree of reflection in the UV range, as they increase considerably when the wavelengths go down. Another problem - long-term degradation of the mirrors is another big issue when working with intense UV lasers. OPTOMAN, by exploiting his superpowers of a strong focus on surface quality and well-optimized coating technology, flawlessly conquers the main challenges that UV optics face: Low transparency due to absorption; Scattering due to even tiny imperfections and Laser damage and long-term degradation.
Dichroic mirrors
- Spectral range 193 nm - 5000 nm
- Size range from 3 mm up to 360 mm (500 mm is under development).
- High reflection, anti-reflection, polarizing and other type of coatings available
In space and defense applications, laser systems play a critical role in various areas, including communication and navigation. Extreme conditions require these systems and their components, especially laser optics, to feature high environmental stability and spectral performance OPTOMAN has developed application-optimized laser optics with increased longevity and LIDT, while maintaining low degradation. OPTOMAN’s laser optics not only survive the harsh space, but also thrive and showcase excellent spectral performance.
Low GDD Ultrafast Broadband Mirrors
- Absolute reflectance Rs>99.8% and Rp>99.8%
- Compensated for Group Delay Dispersion (GDD)
- Wide spectral bandwidth
Are these standard mirrors suitable for my Yb: KGW or Ti: Sapphire laser? Will these mirrors maintain the temporal characteristics of the laser beam? Will they handle high peak intensity? Low GDD Ultrafast Mirrors are designed to handle high peak powers, provide a reflectance greater than 99.8% and keep the GDD slightly negative. This makes these mirrors ideal for femtosecond laser systems, like the Ti: Sapphire, where pulse broadening is a concern.
