PROTECTION Windows
Fiber Laser Protection Windows
ULO Optics’ Fiber Laser Protection windows serve a vital role in safeguarding your system from back spatter, smoke residue, and steam, while also serving as a pressure window for the cutting gas. These protective windows, also referred to as cover slides or debris shields, are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different applications.
Positioned as the final optical element between the focusing lens and the working area, our protection windows are instrumental in shielding other, more costly optical elements in your fiber or YAG laser setup. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, all our protection windows are equipped with anti-reflective (AR) coatings. These coatings minimize absorption and mitigate damage caused by back reflection or thermal changes to the glass.
At ULO Optics, we offer AR coatings tailored to the wavelength range of 200-3000nm, with options including Narrow-band, Broadband, and Multispectral coatings. Additionally, our protective windows are available in various substrates, with popular options including Fused Silica, BK7, Borosilicate glass 3.3, Float glass, and Sapphire. With our comprehensive range of options, you can trust ULO Optics to provide the ideal protection windows to suit your specific requirements and applications.
With our laser protection windows, you can trust that your fiber laser system is equipped with the highest level of safety and performance. Backed by our expertise and commitment to excellence.
