TECHNICALReleased DEC 2010 Our latest technical document shows why some CO2 mirrors and lenses fail before others, and what external factors that reduce the life of optics. Discusses contamination of optics, absorption of coatings and optical surfaces, and use of laser calorimeter. (250Kb) Download pdf What happens to a ZnSe lens or Copper mirror when a CO2 beam passes through it?. Discusses thermal lensing, thermal distortion of ZnSe windows and copper mirrors. (20Kb) Download pdf The science of cleaning CO2 laser optics. 22 years of practical experience. Discusses solvents, surface quality, absorption of lenses and mirrors at 10.6 microns (150Kb) Download pdf |

We understand CO2 lasers, both beam delivery and resonators. We have software to model gaussian beam propagation, design lenses and mirror systems, and test them with our 150W CO2 laser and optical table. |
