Description
SPAWR Industries, Inc. is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship in producing high-quality metal mirrors, specifically designed for high-energy laser applications. Located in Lake Havasu City, AZ, SPAWR has established itself as a leading supplier of state-of-the-art metal mirrors, which are integral to very high power laser research. These mirrors are crafted to withstand the highest CO2 laser damage thresholds, ensuring reliability and performance in demanding environments.
Uncoated copper mirrors by SPAWR are particularly noted for their superior quality and surface damage threshold, making them ideal for medium and long wave IR lasers. While high reflectance coatings are typically unnecessary for these mirrors, options are available for those who require them. Customers can choose from a vacuum-deposited protected silver coating or an electrochemically deposited hard gold coating, depending on their specific needs.
Each mirror is meticulously crafted from high-purity copper, ensuring optimal reflectivity and surface smoothness. The optical characteristics are designed to cover 80% of the mirror's diameter, with standard radii available in concave forms, including 1M, 5M, 10M, and 20M, for mirrors up to 4 inches in diameter. For larger mirrors, including those exceeding 16 inches in diameter, custom solutions are available upon request.
SPAWR provides a protective shipping and storage container with each mirror to ensure safe transportation and handling. The larger 12-inch and 16-inch diameter mirrors feature a lightweight ribbed structure, enhancing their durability and ease of use. Whether for laboratory or industrial applications, SPAWR's copper mirrors deliver unmatched performance and reliability.
