Water-cooled Beam Dumps for High-Power Lasers
Stop! To Here and No Farther!
D76-071
The trend toward higher and higher laser power has continued for years – and not just in material processing. Not only the creation and transmission of laser power in the kW range but also its controlled blocking presents a challenge that should not be underestimated.
Gentec EO faces this challenge with its new BD series of water-cooled beam dumps.
There are two versions available (for up to 4 kW and 12 kW of laser power); both versions have an active aperture of 100 mm in diameter.
These beam dumps feature a very compact footprint because they are mechanically almost identical to the HP100A series of high-power detectors. Even the absorber material used is identical – for a damage threshold of up to 16 kW/cm².
To eliminate any disturbing, diffuse back reflections, these BD series beam dumps can also be equipped with a shielding tube that is optimized for the appropriate application.
Gentec’s BD series beam dumps: Simply connect the cooling water and … stop!
