CO2 Laser Mirrors

CO2 Laser Mirror Types

CO2 laser mirrors are essential components in laser systems, directing and reflecting the laser beam. Choosing the right type ensures optimal performance.

1. Silicon Mirrors
   Silicon mirrors are lightweight, durable, and cost-effective. They are ideal for general-purpose applications and provide good reflectivity for CO2 lasers.
2. Molybdenum Mirrors
   Molybdenum mirrors are highly durable and resistant to damage. They are best for harsh environments or where high durability is critical.
3. Copper Mirrors
   Copper mirrors have excellent thermal conductivity and high reflectivity. They are used in high-power CO2 laser systems to reduce heat buildup.
4. Dielectric-Coated Mirrors
   Dielectric-coated mirrors enhance reflectivity at specific wavelengths. They are highly efficient but require careful handling to prevent coating damage.

Each mirror type is designed for specific applications. Factors like power level, environment, and budget influence the choice. Proper maintenance ensures longevity and performance.

Using the right CO2 laser mirror improves efficiency and precision in cutting, engraving, or welding applications.
