Lenses and Mirrors Can Be Used as Direct Replacements for High-Power Steel-Cutting Lasers

A line of CO₂ laser optics features lenses and mirrors that can be used as direct replacements for high-power steel-cutting lasers. Designed for incorporation into multikilowatt cutting lasers, the optics are optimized for 10.6 µm and offered in diameters of 1.5–2.5 in. The antireflective-coated lenses have focal lengths of 3.5–12 in. and exhibit total absorption of less than 0.2%. The silicon mirrors and reflectors provide 99.5–99.7% average reflectance at 10.6 µm and a 45° angle of incidence. Suitable for use with Amada, Bystronic, Cincinnati, Mazak, Mitsubishi, Prima, Strippit, and Trumpf CO₂ lasers, this optics line includes lenses in plano-convex and meniscus configurations, molybdenum mirrors for dirty environments, silicon mirrors, silicon mirrors with enhanced copper, silver, or dual-band maximum reflector polarization-controlling reflectance coatings, and ZnSe output couplers.
