From the center to the edge of GRMs, the reflectance falls off in a Gaussian curve. To achieve this effect, the coating process must be precisely controlled to ensure that the coating is applied accordingly. LASER COMPONENTS has now developed its own software to facilitate application of the coating. After production, the optics are inspected at an automated measuring station.
Gaussian mirrors are required, for example, to generate laser beams with high pulse energies and low divergence. LASER COMPONENTS is one of the few manufacturers of these optics worldwide.
“The production of GRMs is very complex,” says Rainer Franke, product engineer for laser optics at LASER COMPONENTS. “It is crucial that the optics not deviate from the customer’s specifications because only then can the optics do their job as intended. We have long been known for the high quality of our Gaussian mirrors. In an increasingly demanding market, we are making additional investments to ensure that our customers continue to receive the exact optics that meet their requirements.”

Gaussian Mirrors
Hard dielectric coatings for laser optics
Since 1986, the name LASER COMPONENTS has stood for top quality optics for laser technologies. Well-known laser manufacturers count on our optics, which cover the complete spectral range from 193 nm (UV) to 3.2 µm (MIR).
Technologies
Inside our specially-developed, high-vacuum chambers containing an electron beam gun, we coat both our own as well as substrates supplied by customers with diameters ranging from 4 mm up to 390 mm.
Rush jobs can be done within 24 hours upon request.
The optics manufacturing department has six coaters. Two of these coaters uses sputter technology which allows us to manufacture even better optics for the next generation of lasers.
Our specialties include the manufacture of glass parabolic mirrors for thin disk lasers, adaptive optics, and Gaussian mirrors.
