Laser Research Optics Rolls Out New Range of CO2 Laser Mirrors

Meller Optics’ division Laser Research Optics has launched a new series of CO₂ laser mirrors called Laser Research SuperHard Coat Copper Mirrors. The mirrors have a hard coating that improves laser-cutting abilities and reduces power loss.

The patented hard coating in the superHard Coat Copper Mirrors offers an average reflectivity of 99.85% with a zero phase shift of below 2° at 45° AOI for application in industrial CO₂ lasers of up to 10 kW. The hard coating demonstrates better durability and is resistant to scratch when compared to coatings based on ZnSe according to MIL-C-48497A.

The superHard Coat Copper Mirrors comes in concave, convex or plano designs with outer diameter range between 1-1/2" and 3". These mirrors feature less than 3 arc-min of parallelism, l/40 irregularity at 10.6 µm, l//20 power of flatness and a 40-20 scratch-dig surface finish.

The cost of Laser Research SuperHard Coat Copper Mirrors varies with quantity, size and configuration. They are suitable for laser systems, including LVD, Trumpf, Mitsubishi, Mazak, Cincinnati, Bystronic, Amada and other similar lasers.
