High Power Laser Line Windows

Laser Lenses are used to focus collimated light from laser beams in a variety of laser applications. Laser Lenses include a range of lens types including PCX Lenses, Cylinder Lenses, or Laser Generator Lenses. Laser Lenseare designed to focus light in several different ways depending on the lens type, such as focusing down to a point,  a line, or a ring. Many different lens types are available in a range of wavelengths.

1、What Metallic Coated types can Uni-Optics supply?

Uni-Optics mainly offers four coating types, including:

1) UV Enhanced Aluminum : Ravg > 85% from 250nm to 400nm

2) Protected Aluminum: Ravg > 87% from 400nm to 800nm

3) Protected Silver: Ravg > 95% from 400nm to 20um

4) Protected Gold: Ravg > 98% from 650nm to 16um

2、What are features of Metallic coated mirror?

Metallic coated mirror have many key features below:

Wide spectral range

Not sensitive to the incidence angle and polarization state

Low cost

Non-durable

Relatively low reflectance

Low laser damage threshold

3、What UNI Optics can do for you?

Common Specifications:

Note: Aluminum is the most widely used metal reflection film, from near UV to near IR, have high reflectivity, and with low cost. Silver has higher reflectivity in the visible and near infrared wavelength than the aluminum film, but the silver in the air will be rapid oxidation, color darkening, makes the film performance and firmness declined rapidly. Gold film has a good consistency with high reflectivity in the near, middle and far infrared range, can control the thermal radiation effectively, but it is relatively soft, easy bruising, and should be pay very attention to clean, and the cost is very high.
