Accuflect Ceramic Laser Light Reflectors
Description
Accuflect® ceramic laser reflectors are high efficiency diffuse reflectors. The nearly perfectly diffuse reflection and high reflection efficiency are effectively exploited in laser systems with laser hosts having pump bands in the 500 nm to 1200 nm spectral range.

Features
Highly efficient reflection eliminates need for high accuracy focusing reflectors
Highly uniform light field within the cavity results in a more uniform output beam profile
Diffuse light eliminates the hot spots in the laser host of specular cavities reducing Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) Ceramic material is strong and tough, able to resist breakage if a flashlamp explodes
Glazed surfaces are corrosion resistant, allowing direct contact with coolants. Flooded cavities are easily implemented so laser heads are simple, compact and lower cost
Accuflect® is dimensionally stable. It will not cold fow like polymers
Accuflect® is not susceptible to localized catastrophic damage from surface contaminants absorbing radiation
Lower cost ground or grooved laser crystals can be used in diffuse cavities
Ground or grooved laser crystals reduce potential for parasitic oscillations
There is no plating to flake off like specular metal reflectors

Frequently Asked Questions
Accuflect ceramic laser reflectors are high efficiency diffuse reflectors used in laser systems with laser hosts having pump bands in the 500 nm to 1200 nm spectral range.
The features of Accuflect ceramic laser reflectors include highly efficient reflection, highly uniform light field within the cavity resulting in a more uniform output beam profile, diffuse light eliminating hot spots in the laser host of specular cavities reducing Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE), and glazed surfaces that are corrosion resistant, allowing direct contact with coolants.
Accuflect B6 has a native ceramic surface and is approximately 30% porous, while Accuflect G6 has a glazed surface that is impervious to coolants and contaminants. Accuflect B6 is suited for dry cavity laser applications, while Accuflect G6 is well suited for use in compact, high energy flooded cavity laser heads.
Accuflect laser reflectors reduce and eliminate many of the shortcomings of PTFE polymer reflectors, polished metal specular reflectors, and packed powder diffuse reflectors with a number of desirable characteristics, including highly efficient reflection, highly uniform light field within the cavity, and diffuse light that eliminates hot spots in the laser host.
Lower cost ground or grooved laser crystals can be used in diffuse cavities with Accuflect laser reflectors, which reduce the potential for parasitic oscillations.
