Laser Research Optics, Providence, RI, is introducing a new line of OFHC copper mirrors either with or without water cooling for use in high power, multi-kilowatt CO₂ laser systems.

These copper laser mirrors are manufactured with OFHC copper and are offered with or without water cooling in polished, uncoated versions, or with plasma gold coatings. Providing >99.6% reflectivity at 10.6 micron and 1/4 wave surface accuracy, they are designed for beam delivery and beam shaping in high power, multi-kilowatt CO₂ lasers.

Available in 1 inch to 3 inch O.D. sizes, Laser Research Copper Laser Mirrors feature a clear aperture of 90% of the diameter. These OFHC (oxygen-free high thermal conductivity copper) mirrors are effective for beam bending in all beam paths and beam guidance systems, from simple measurement setup to high performance lasers, claims the firm.
