High purity 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. Prime Features: - 98.0% reflectance efficiency at 1064nm
- Reflectance efficiency exceeds 96% across the wavelength range 500-2000nm.
- Controlled porosity.
- Good thermal conductivity.
- High electrical resistivity.
- Highly cost effective alternative to metal coated reflectors .
Typical Applications: - Pumping chambers for flash lamp and continuous wave lasers using media such as Nd:YAG lasers, Alexendrite — low to high power, single or multiple lamp designs used for welding, cutting, marking and in medical lasers.
- Layered and segmented pumping chambers for diode pumped lasers
- Intense Pulse Light (IPL) applications for cosmetic surgery
Production Capabilities:- Components up to 250mm long and 80mm wide/diameter manufactured as standard
- Larger components manufactured to development contracts.
- One-piece or split-cavity designs
- Surfaces can be sealed and coated with a solarization-resistant glaze to give high bulk strength of the part
- Glazing / Coatings available include on Standard (“Sintox AL - GSO”) glaze
- UV wavelength cut-off glaze (“Sintox AL - GSY”) which cuts off Wavelength upto 500nm . Advantage of this is that it reduces heating of the components.
