Technology breakthroughs in CO lasers have driven increased demand for commercial applications such as printed circuit board drilling, glass and film cutting, medical procedures. The new generation of 5-6 µm wavelength CO lasers allows the mid-infrared spectrum to be competitively utilized in demanding applications due to smaller spot size, increased efficiencies, and advantageous absorption properties for glass and plastic materials processing. II-VI’s CO optics and components are key enablers of a new generation of CO laser systems.
“Our CO product line is a great complement to our existing CO2 optical products which already serve a broad customer base in the industrial, medical and semiconductor industries. With this new product line, II-VI reinforces its leading position in laser optics as CO laser applications continue to increase in material processing and medical markets,” said John Ryan, Vice President Sales, Laser Solutions Segment, II-VI Incorporated.
The II-VI CO optics and components are designed for 5-6 µm CO lasers. The portfolio includes both internal and external cavity designs comprised of Band Select Mirrors, Beam Combiners, Lenses, Mirrors, Debris Windows and F-Theta assemblies. Single and multiple wavelength coatings as well as custom designs are available.
II-VI Infrared will showcase the new CO optics and components product line at SPIE Photonics West, Feb. 16-18, 2016, in San Francisco, CA, in Hall C, Booth # 2223.
