Remove the Risk of Thermal Lensing
Is material absorption limiting your high-energy laser systems?
The solution is to switch to an air-path design. Roof mirrors from Manx Precision Optics (MPO) eliminate the bulk material found in solid prisms, removing the risk of thermal lensing and maintaining zero bulk dispersion for femtosecond pulses.
Key features for high-power applications include:
- Zero bulk dispersion โ Preserving pulse integrity in ultrafast systems
- High damage thresholds โ Removing the risk of thermal distortion
- Precision accuracy โ Dihedral angles within ยฑ10 arcseconds
- Stable substrates โ Utilizing materials such as UV-grade fused silica and Zerodurยฎ
