Are Your Optics Limiting Your Laser’s Potential?
In ultrafast laser systems, optical coatings can be the weakest link. Using components with an insufficient laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) invariably leads to costly failures and system downtime.
By contrast, designing optics with a sufficiently high LIDT will ensure reliable and consistent performance. Whether for research or commercial use, custom coatings from Manx Precision Optics (MPO) help you unlock your laser’s full potential.
MPO helps you by:
- Ensuring high LIDT is a promise of quality, not just a label, so you get performance you can trust in the most demanding applications.
- Offering specialized solutions, including robust metal and hybrid mirrors ideal for ultra-short pulse infrared lasers.
- Delivering custom optics with proven, repeatable performance that meets the real-world demands of your work, exceeding the spec sheet.
Don’t let your optical components be a point of failure. Partner with MPO for quality that performs.
