CO₂ Laser Protection Filter
CO₂ laser protection filters are specialized optical components designed to protect operators and optical systems from harmful 10.6 μm CO₂ laser radiation. Optical glass, polycarbonate or fused silica substrates combined with advanced protection coatings provide high infrared attenuation and stable performance for industrial laser safety applications.
CO₂ Laser Protection Filter Overview
CO₂ laser protection filters selectively attenuate high-energy infrared laser radiation at 10.6 μm while maintaining sufficient visible light transmission for observation and operation.
Available substrates include optical glass, polycarbonate and fused silica. Advanced wavelength-selective coatings provide high infrared blocking, stable optical properties and performance suited to industrial laser environments.
Chenyu Optics manufactures custom filters according to the required wavelength, optical density, visible transmission, substrate, dimensions and coating design.
