Catalog excerpts

A nanostructure pattern is created on the surface of high purity fused silica plano-convex lenses to produce an antireflection effect. Because this manufacturing process uses no thin films materials, the lens has a very high damage threshold limit. Nano-TextureTechnology Sub-wavelength anti-reflection (AR) nano-textures etched directly into the surface of laser grade fused silica windows and lenses exhibit reflection losses down to 0.1% over wide bandwidths from UV-NIR. Broadband Anti-Reflection Performance L Type AR nano-textures inherently perform over unprecedented bandwidths allowing coverage of multiple laser wavelengths in a single optic. Newport offers the long wavelength type, specified as “L” type AR textures R<0.1 % 500-800 nm, R<0.3% 900-1100 nm. Broadband Anti-Reflection Performance S Type Newport offers the short wavelength type, specified as “S” type AR textures R<0.1 % 250-360 nm, R<0.3% 400-550 nm. Increased Laser Damage Thresholds Because there are no dissimilar materials used or deposited, the AR nano-textures have no added absorption or surface heating. This results in improved beam parameters and longer lifetimes for your laser optics. Extensive laser damage tests have shown significantly increased pulsed and CW laser damage thresholds compared to thin-film ARs with damage thresholds equivalent to bulk material. • Chemically and mechanically robust & contamination resistant • Reflection loss down to 0.1 % • No surface absorption - reduced thermal lensing • Improved beam parameters and long term stability

Antireflection Nano-Texture Surface Optics-2

ANTIREFLECTION NANO-TEXTURE SURFACE OPTICS CW and Pulsed Damage Thresholds Nano-Texture Optics Cleaning Instructions The nano-texture surface treatment yields extremelly high damage threshold results. Typical for pulsed laser applications, the threshold will be higher by 2-5x compared to the standard thin films AR V-coat method. Actual testing results show that the nano-textured optics damaged at 35.6 J/cm2 at 1064 nm, 10 ns pulses, with 0.5 mm diameter beam. Untreated high purity fused silica was also tested and damaged at 42.1 J/cm2 under the same parameters. Conventional cleaning methods used...
