Az előadás rövid kivonata:
Laser use is ubiquitous in everyday life. What was once a solution seeking a
problem is now present in the production of nearly everything we touch. New
applications need new materials to address the broad range of today’s
technology. Laser glass, once perceived as useful only in complex scientific
applications, is now finding its way into a wide array of commercial, medical
and consumer-based uses. Brought about by advances over the last several years
in new formulations of laser glass created by SCHOTT, these new gain materials
move advanced laser technology from the hands of highly skilled technicians
and PhDs and into robust commercial uses. Of particular interest are SCHOTT’s
latest formulations: BLG-80 and LG960 Laser Glass.
There are many difficulties involved in the manufacture of ultraprecise glass
components and coatings that have the durability to withstand laser radiation
with very high power density. These include how best to polish and clean the
glass, how to minimize subsurface damage, the ideal approach to coating, the
right materials to use, how to increase the Laser Induced Damage Threshold
(LIDT), and the many tradeoffs involved.
