SERVICE
Laser Rod Repair & Refurbishment
We provide refurbishment, end-face reprocessing, repolishing, and recoating services for selected solid-state laser rods.
- Germany-based contact
- Refurbishment to confirmed specifications
- Optical inspection and measurement support
Service overview
Laser rods with worn, damaged, or degraded optical end faces can often be refurbished instead of replaced, depending on the condition of the rod and the required final specification.
Refurbishment feasibility is assessed according to the rod material, dimensions, end-face geometry, surface condition, and required final specification.
Supported laser rod materials
- Nd:YAG
- Nd:Ce:YAG
- Er:YAG
- Ho:Cr:Tm:YAG
- Yb:YAG
- Nd:YLF
- Alexandrite
- Ruby
- Nd-doped laser glass
- Er-doped laser glass
Additional laser materials can be considered on request.
Refurbishment capabilities
Our laser rod refurbishment service can include cleaning, coating removal, end-face reprocessing, precision repolishing, and recoating, depending on the condition of the rod and the required final specification.
- End-face reprocessing and repolishing
- Curved end-face restoration
- Wedge-angle reprocessing
- Coating removal and recoating
