Greetings!
For over thirty years, Optometrics has been your source for ruled gratings for the infrared. Now, we've taken this one step further and produce gratings ruled directly in gold for high power, high efficiency IR laser applications. Read all about it!
All the best in Wavelength Selection Solutions,

| Gold Gratings |
 We design and rule custom gratings directly in gold for IR (4 to 12 microns) laser applications. Gold gratings are particularly important to IR lasers since their increased efficiency allows more of the generated light to be used. Their resistance to degradation allows them to be used in high power applications that might damage gratings having a thin gold coating over aluminum, for example. These gratings are available on both Invar and ceramic substrates. If you are interested in working with other materials, please contact us for more information. Back to the top |
