- Copper Mirrors: CO₂ lasers, water cooled
- Dielectric: High power, wavelength specific
- Alignment: Critical for beam quality
Articulated Arms
- Flexibility: Complex beam paths
- Mirrors: 7-12 reflections typical
- Alignment: Automatic compensation
- Maintenance: Regular mirror cleaning
Loss Factors
- Absorption: Material and atmospheric
- Scattering: Surface roughness, particles
- Coupling: Mode matching, NA mismatch
- Contamination: Dust, moisture, debris
⚠️ Beam Delivery Safety
Laser Safety Warning: Beam delivery systems can concentrate high power densities at unexpected locations. Ensure proper beam enclosures, interlocks, and safety systems throughout the beam path. High reflectivity mirrors can create specular reflections that pose eye and fire hazards. Regular maintenance and alignment verification are essential for safe operation.
