1 µm optics from Ophir Optronics’ CO2 Optics Division are designed for use in high-power, 1 µm laser systems used in optical coherence tomography (OCT), for example.
1 µm optics from Ophir Optronics’ CO2 Optics Division (Jerusalem, Israel) are designed for use in high-power, 1 µm laser systems used in optical coherence tomography (OCT), for example. The fused-silica, UV-grade lenses deliver low absorption of <50 ppm at 1.03–1.07 µm, focal length tolerance of ±0.5%, and laser-damage threshold of >10 J. The company's high-reflectance mirror coatings for fiber lasers provide >99.7% reflectivity at 1.03–1.07 µm and >80% reflection at 650–670 nm.
