Durable Mirrors For High Power Lasers

Optical Surfaces Ltd. is a specialist producer of extremely durable, high performance coated mirrors, up to 600 mm in diameter, for use with high power femtosecond lasers.

Employing the latest dielectric coating technology, these high-power laser mirrors provide minimum pulse distortion and the maximum usable bandwidth. When used with high-power femtosecond lasers operating at 750 to 850 nm, Optical Surfaces mirrors are designed for use at power densities exceeding 1 J/cm2 for high frequency 50-fs pulses without deterioration.

Benefiting from a uniquely stable production and testing environment - Optical Surfaces skilled craftsmen routinely produce high power laser mirrors of the highest quality and precision. Produced from materials including glass, ceramic, and silica – Optical Surfaces off-axis parabolic mirrors are designed to optimise the performance of rapid-pulsed high-power lasers. All surface accuracies are checked by interferometer and are guaranteed to meet lambda/10 p-v wave accuracy with low scatter. The quality and performance of large diameter, high power femtosecond laser mirrors from Optical Surfaces Ltd. is second to none.

Typical applications for these extremely durable high-power femtosecond laser mirrors includes plasma physics, laser manufacturing and telecommunications.

About Optical Surfaces Ltd.
Optical Surfaces Ltd. has been producing optical components and systems for leading high-power laser research groups for many years. The company’s ISO 9001-2008 approved manufacturing workshops and test facilities are deep underground in a series of tunnels excavated in solid chalk where temperature remains constant and vibration is practically non-existent. With such stable conditions testing, particularly with long path lengths, becomes quantifiable and reliable. Working with these natural advantages is a highly skilled team of craftsmen with a commitment to excellence in both product quality and customer service.
