Ceramic Reflector Innovacera Ceramic laser reflectors are high reflectance cavities used in solid state and CO2 laser systems. It is made by high purity 99% porous alumina ceramic and sintered at high temperatures to achieve a controlled porosity. Our range of custom ceramic reflectors offer significant advantages and improvements over those made with materials such as metal and polymer, it work particularly well in Ruby and Nd: YAG laser pumping chambers and used extensively for long-life laser reflectors. Ceramic reflectors can be glazed both inside the cavity and around the outer edges using a highly reflective glaze that seals the ceramic against ingress of cooling fluids that may alter the refractive index, introduce impurities and reduce reflectance and efficiencies. Glazes can also act as filters and our glazed reflectors have been used successfully in certain applications.

INNOVACERA® ceramic laser reflectors are high-efficiency diffuse reflectors. The perfect diffuse reflection and high reflection efficiency are effectively exploited in laser systems in the 500 nm to 1200 nm spectral range.

INNOVACERA® ceramic reflector is approximately 15-18% porous and virtually no absorption losses. It is suitable for dry cavity laser applications such as low energy air-cooled systems and higher energy laser systems The curve shown below illustrates the reflectivity of the INNOVACERA® ceramic reflector.

Innovacera ceramic reflectors work particularly well in Ruby and Nd: YAG laser pumping chambers and can be a highly cost-effective alternative to metal-coated reflectors. They are also extensively used as reflectors in housings for high-intensity lamps.

ceramic reflector is used for Lamp-pumped Solid-state Lasers

Innovacera ceramic reflector is widely used for Lamp-pumped Solid-state Lasers. Solid state lasers in military, processing, medical, and scientific research fields have important functions. It is commonly used for ranging, tracking, guidance, drilling, cutting and welding, annealing of semiconductor materials, micro-machining of electronic devices, atmospheric detection, spectral research, surgery, ophthalmic surgery, plasma diagnosis, pulsed holography, and laser nuclear fusion.
