Laser optics include laser optical components that perform best in a specific or broad range of wavelengths in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectral regions for use in medicine, biology, spectroscopy, metrology, automation and several other industries. In order to achieve greater performance at a particular laser wavelength or range of wavelengths, laser optics employ specialized substrates, coatings, or a mix of both.
A wide range of laser optics, including mirrors, beam splitters, lenses, prisms, windows, substrates, and filters, are available from Alfa Chemistry. We have laser damage thresholds built into our laser optics that can withstand pulsed or continuous lasers.
- Laser mirrors are ideal for beam control applications.
- Laser filters transmit or reflect a portion of the laser light.
- Laser lenses are designed to focus, homogenize or shape the laser beam.
- Laser windows are used to transmit specified wavelengths or to protect sensitive components or work areas from stray light.
Substrates and coatings must be carefully chosen to enhance the optical performance of laser-based devices since filter transmission or reflectivity at very narrow wavelengths is crucial for the majority of laser applications. BK7, H-K9L, sapphire, UV-grade fused silica, IR-grade fused silica, calcium fluoride (CaF2), magnesium fluoride (MgF2), zinc selenide (ZnSe), zinc sulfide (ZnS), gallium arsenide (GaAs), germanium (Ge), and silicon (Si) are just a few examples of the substrates that can be used to create laser optics.
