High speed mirrors for laser scanners
SiC scan optics and high speed mirrors for high power laser
Mersen high speed mirrors enable a game-change in the laser scanner industry through the physical characteristics, performance and cost benefits of SiC material.
It brings together two cutting-edge technologies:
- Boostec® SiC material combined with
- optoSiC® unique Know-How of optical laser scanner techniques and component technologies.
Sintered SiC: product advantages and applications
Mersen manufactures high-performance laser galvo scanning mirrors from 10mm to 300mm apertures for single pair consumption with a range of high reflective coatings.
Sintered SiC is the base material for light and agile mirrors:
- High stiffness
- Ultra light weight
- Low moment of inertia
- High resonant frequency
- Thermal stability
- Low dynamic flatness PV
- Non toxic (Beryllium replacement)
Mersen high speed mirrors are used and established into high-end markets:
- Geodesy
- Airborne and Space scanning systems
- High power Laser material processing UV-IR, such as machining, marking, additive manufacturing
- Metrology and wafer inspection
- Bio / medical ophthalmology
- Streak cameras, targeting applications
- Security
- Sensing applications LIDAR
Expertise
OptoSiC® core knowledge comes directly from the laser galvo scanning industry, and a deep understanding of the needs of laser system, scanhead and optical designers, and the system processing limitations generated by the performance bottleneck using conventional scanning optics. Most importantly, by understanding a large variation of laser application solutions, this gives us the expertise to understand how to develop ultra-high performance optics specific to applied use.
