Laser debris shield.
Laser Research Optics
Recently, Laser Research Optics (PROVIDENCE, RI) introduced a line of sapphire laser debris shields designed to withstand steel splatter, flash, and debris to reduce focus shift and maintain laser beam quality.
Laser Research Sapphire Debris Shields provide protection for laser systems by reducing focus shift and maintaining beam quality during exposure to splatter and debris.
Features & Benefits:
- Feature anti-reflective coatings on both sides
- Provide transmission of > 99.5% @ 1.06 microns and > 80% @ 650-670 nm
- More robust than fused silica protection glasses
- Withstand steel splatter, flash, and debris
- Reduce focus shift and prevent beam quality deterioration
- Extend laser system service life
- Reduce the number of required lens changes
- Lower bulk absorption
- Approximately 30X higher thermal conductivity
- Available in 0.5” and 2.0” sizes
- Mohs 9 hardness (second only to diamond)
- 10-5 scratch-dig finish
- 1/4 wave transmitted wavefront
Suitable for industrial laser applications requiring durable and thermally stable protective optics.
