Ceramic Laser Reflector for Pump Chamber
Introductions
High purity porous alumina ceramic of 99% Al2O3 content, used extensively for long-life laser reflectors. This material is sintered at high temperatures to achieve a controlled porosity.
Prime Features
Surfaces can be sealed and coated with a solarization-resistant glaze to give high bulk refectivity
97% reflectance efficiency at 600-1000nm
Reflectance efficiency exceeds 95% across the wavelength range 400-1200nm (see curve)
Controlled porosity
Good thermal conductivity
High electrical resistivity
Physical properties
