The advanced coating technology of ARGES mirrors ensures a typical flatness of λ/8 measured at 633 nm over the whole usable area. The scratch/dig values of 20/10 and better ensure highest damage thresholds on the high power coatings for pulsed laser beams.

Many established industrial applications are using CO2 lasers. High quality gold coatings on stiff silicon subtrates provide the best solution for most infrared scanning applications regarding flatness, reflectivity and dynamic performance of the scan system.

The broadband metallic coating supports the most commonly used pointing devices such as red laser diodes and HeNe lasers. Upon request for ultra high speed scan systems Beryllium subtrates are available. Optionally we offer hard dielectric coatings.

Enhanced metallic silver is a standard coating for mirrors with broadband reflectivity. It is very well suited for applications with medium power 1064 and 532 nm Nd:YAG lasers and for all vision applications. In comparison with wavelength specific dielectric coatings the reflectivity is sligthly lower. However it is not recommended for high power pulsed beams.

All our coatings for Nd:YAG lasers are ion plated. Thus they are less hygroscopic than normal coatings maintaining a high optical quality over years.

1064 and 630 to 670 nm

The hard dielectric coating is recommended as a standard coating for all CW and pulsed high power Nd:YAG lasers. Compared to other dielectric coatings it exhibits maximized broadband reflectivity permitting wide scan angles and common pointing devices. This coating provides a secondary reflectivity band at 630 to 670 nm for HeNe pointers.
