Optical Surfaces is a manufacturer and supplier of debris shields for high-power laser applications.
As laser beam energy and target size increase, there is a greater risk that ancillary debris and shrapnel can damage target-facing optics.
The use of debris shields to protect typically expensive final reflective or refractive focusing high-power optics is a well-established technique of cost-effectively extending their lifetime.
Working with a range of glasses including BK-7 and fused silica, which offer good homogeneity and transmission from the UV to the near-IR, Optical Surfaces is able to supply customer specified debris shields of virtually any shape and thickness.
Manufacturing large debris shields requires production of a precision wavefront on a flexible window with a high diameter-to-thickness ratio.
Optical Surfaces can produce debris shields with typical wavefront error of lambda/10 and surface finish of 40/20-10/5.
Optical Surfaces ISO 9001-2000 approved manufacturing facility provides the resources to supply from single specialist requirements to OEM quantities.
All high-power laser debris shields are provided with a complete quality test assurance report.
