Laser Debris Shields

25 Jan 2016

Optical Surfaces Ltd. is a leading supplier of laser debris shields (also known as protective windows or cover slides) to protect target-facing optics located in high-power laser facilities.

Debris shields help prevent damage to the focusing optics in laser beam delivery systems caused by dust, shrapnel and fragments originating from the target during laser processing. Optical Surfaces’ debris shields offer a cost effective solution to greatly extending the service life of typically expensive high power laser refractive and reflective optics.

Manufacturing high quality debris shields combines the dual demands of producing a precision wavefront on a flexible window with a high diameter to thickness ratio. Working with a wide range of glasses, which offer good homogeneity and transmission from the UV to the Near-IR, Optical Surfaces Ltd. is able to supply debris shields of the optimum shape and thickness to suit your laser delivery system and target facing optics.

Optical Surfaces Ltd.'s skilled and experienced craftsmen are able to routinely produce debris shields with high surface accuracy / quality (lambda/10 wavefront error and surface finish of 10/5), flatness and parallelism to

Optical Surfaces Ltd (www.optisurf.com) has been producing optical components and systems for more than 50 years and is now accepted as one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-precision optical systems for high power laser research facilities. 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.
