Laser Research Releases Laser Beam Steering Optics

The Rhode Island-based Laser Research Optics has announced the availability of its new CO₂ laser lenses, reflectors, and mirrors. The CO₂ laser optics products are suitable for cutting boards, and marking components.

The CO₂ lenses are designed for operation at 10.6 µm wavelength, and are available in the diameter sizes from 1/2" to 1-1/2", and 1" to 25" focal lengths, in 1/2" increments. The reflectors and mirrors are available in the diameter sizes from 1/2" to 3", and in the thickness range of 2 - 10 mm. These mirrors and reflectors are manufactured from copper, molybdenum, and silicon, to meet the requirements of consumers.

The CO₂ laser optics products fulfill the specifications of ISO-10110 and OEM. The CO¬2 lenses exhibit absorption value of less than 0.2%, and scratch-dig surface quality of 40-20. The mirrors and lenses meet the quality specifications of MIL-Q-9858, and NASA's NHB 5300.4.
