Diffusive ceramic reflectors for Nd:YAG laserCeramic reflector typical application is pumping chambers for Nd:YAG lasers — low to high power, single or multiple lamp designs. Pumping chamber reflectors of this material are virtually indestructible, and prove a highly cost effective alternative to metal coated types. A porous alumina ceramic of 99.7% Al2O3 content, used extensively for long-life laser reflectors. This material is sintered at high temperatures to achieve a controlled porosity. Ceramic reflectors also can use many other kinds of lasers, such as for Diode-pumped Solid-state Lasers.
Prime features * Surfaces can be sealed and coated with a solarization-resistant glaze to give high bulk reflectivity * 97.8% reflectance efficiency at 1000nm * Reflectance efficiency exceeds 96% across the wavelength range 500-2000nm(see curve) * Controlled porosity * Good thermal conductivity * High electrical resistivity
