Introducing Laser Beam Splitters by Laser Research Optics
Laser Research Optics has unveiled an exciting new line of laser beam splitters that cater to various applications requiring precision optics. These innovative products are suitable for lasers starting from 100 Watts, demonstrating their versatility and capability.
Specifications and Features of the New Beam Splitters
These beam splitters are crafted from high-quality ZnSe material and are designed with either S or P polarization coatings, allowing for customization of their reflectance properties. To facilitate usage, each splitter incorporates an easily identifiable arrow on the outer diameter (O.D.) surface that points towards surface “1” for clear identification. They are optimized for operation at a precise 45-degree angle of incidence and specifically tuned for a wavelength of 10.6 microns.
Size Variations
Available in a range of O.D. sizes from 0.25 inches to 3 inches, the new beam splitters from Laser Research Optics can accommodate various thicknesses as well. This range ensures that users can find the perfect fit for their specific optical setups.
Performance Characteristics
Each laser beam splitter is manufactured under rigorous quality control standards. The first surface exhibits a reflectance of 50% ±3%, while the second surface is treated with an anti-reflective coating that limits reflectance to a maximum of 0.25%. These performance traits contribute to the overall efficiency and productivity of laser applications.
Durability and Reliability
The precision manufacturing processes that Laser Research Optics employs assure a surface finish of 40-20 scratch-dig complying with MIL-O-13830 specifications. These splitters boast a maximum flatness of one-fortieth of a wavelength at 10.6 microns and parallelism is maintained to within 3 Arc/mins. Such quality guarantees that these beam splitters can withstand rigorous operational demands.
Pricing and Availability
Laser Research offers competitive pricing for their beam splitters, with costs determined based on both size and quantity requirements. Many popular sizes are kept in stock, allowing for swift fulfillment of customer orders.
