Product overview
Laser cavity filters and flow tubes are used in flashlamp-pumped solid-state laser systems for optical transmission, spectral filtering, and coolant flow in laser cavities and pump chambers.
We manufacture these components from 10% samarium-doped glass, cerium-doped quartz, fused silica / quartz glass, and Pyrex glass, selected according to the required component function and laser-system requirements.
Key advantages
- Coolant-flow paths for flashlamps, laser rods, and pump-chamber components
- High transmission of useful pump wavelengths, depending on material
- UV filtering and cavity filtering with samarium-doped glass or cerium-doped quartz
- Reduced exposure of the laser medium to unwanted UV radiation and associated solarization effects
Configurations
Surface finish options
- Mechanically ground inner and outer surfaces
- Ground or matte finish for non-optical surfaces
- Optically polished inner and outer surfaces on request
- Coating on selected outer surfaces available on request
