Low Absorption Lenses are suited for high power CO2 lasers.
Press Release Summary:
Able to prevent overheating, Cool-Cut(TM) CO2 Laser Lenses are specially coated to absorb less than 0.15% of laser energy, which protects against thermal damage and provides focal length stability to assure consistent cut quality. They are available in 1.5 and 2.0 in. dia sizes, from 0.236-0.380 in. thick, with focal lengths from 1-25 in. in 0.5 in. increments. Surface quality is 40-20 scratch-dig, and transmission is greater than 99.0% at 10.6 µm.
Original Press Release:
Low Absorption CO2 Laser Lenses Prevent Overheating for Consistent Cut Quality
A new line of low absorption laser lenses for use with high power CO2 lasers which are designed to run cooler than conventional A/R coated lenses is being introduced by Laser Research Optics of Providence, Rhode Island.
Laser Research Cool-Cut(TM) CO2 Laser Lenses are specially coated to absorb <0.15% of laser energy which protects against thermal damage and provides focal length stability to assure consistent cut quality. Developed for high power CO2 lasers, they will last longer than standard A/R coated lenses, depending upon the application, claims the firm.
Direct replacements for popular standard OEM laser Lenses, Laser Research Cool-Cut(TM) CO2 Laser Lenses are available in 1.5" and 2.0" dia. sizes from 0.236" to 0.380" thick with focal lengths from 1" to 25" in 0.5" increments. Surface quality is 40-20 scratch-dig and transmission is >99.0% at 10.6 µm.
Laser Research Cool-Cut(TM) CO2 Laser Lenses are priced according to size and quantity. Literature and price quotations are available upon request.
