Optics & Materials Overview

 

Lens

Aspheric Lenses

The finest quality moulded glass aspheres based on PerfectLens™ technology. Improve the quality of your diode laser beam with bi-convex, plano-convex and mild-meniscus lenses for the 365-2300nm band. Technical data is supplied for these lenses which is directly compatible with OpTaliX, ZEMAX, OSLO 6.4.0+ and FRED optical system design software. We also supply precision machined aspheres and acylinder lenses which are more cost-effective in small production runs, for example when testing a proptype design.

Spectralon DPSS Laser Pumping Chamber Reflector

Laser Cavity Reflectors

Spectralon® is the perfect choice of material for use as a pump chamber reflector in diode and lamp pumped solid state lasers and lamp pumped dye lasers. Spectralon exhibits diffuse, high reflectance at the pump wavelengths of these lasers leading to increased slope efficiencies, higher energies, increased gain uniformity, improved beam quality and reduced risk of parasitic oscillations. Spectralon is thermally stable and easily machined into bespoke reflectors. Fabrication services are available for Spectralon laser cavity reflectors.

Labsphere Spectralon Diffuse Reflectance Material

Spectralon® Reflectance Material

Spectralon® is Labsphere's patented and award-winning diffuse reflectance material. Spectralon is a solid thermoplastic that exhibits the highest diffuse reflectance of any material or coating, up to 95% from 250-2500nm, and 99% from 400-1500nm. Spectralon is thermally stable, UV-resistant and inert to almost any chemical, properties which make Spectralon the ideal choice for use in applications as diverse as integrating spheres, laser cavity pumping chambers, reflectance standards and targets, lamp reflectors, display backpanel lighting and digital imaging devices. Fabrication services are available for Spectralon reflectors.
