Laser Glasses and Components
Thanks to its unique technical properties, glass is an ideal host material for the rare-earth ions that give optically pumped lasers their power. SCHOTT harnesses those qualities in a range of active laser glass products and components that can be tailored to a variety of optical and industrial needs.
Laser glass innovation and customization
SCHOTT is constantly developing new glass products and offering new options to customers. We have developed platinum-particle-free melting, allowing for customization options including high-fluence laser glass, laser slabs and rods with outstanding quality and homogeneity. In addition, a range of coatings and finishes helps us meet all customer requirements.
The full range of laser components
Lasers are of critical importance to a number of industrial, scientific, medical, and defense applications. SCHOTT offers a range of passive laser components, such as aspherical lenses, polarizers, beamsplitters, mirrors, prisms, windows and flow tubes, as well as coatings for all wavelengths with a high laser-induced damage threshold.
Advanced thinking for laser technology
The technical qualities available to SCHOTT’s range of laser glasses and components include platinum particle-free melting, which permits high fluence without laser-induced damage, as well as the possibility of high homogeneity glass in large slabs or rods. We also offer anti-reflective and highly reflective coatings with a high LIDT, while all our laser glasses and components are entirely customizable according to customer requirements.
