Overview

Laser beam dumps absorb incident light and are used to capture unwanted beams. In the laboratory, they are used to stop stray laser beams. Beam dumps can also be used to contain a laser beam within a portion of an instrument.

Absorbs incident laser beams
Patent pending design minimizes backskatter
Up to 80 W maximum power
Multiple imperial and metric mounting options built-in

Features

Enhanced Laser Safety with Backscatter Control

The PD Series Beam Dumps feature an innovative patent-pending structure designed to absorb incident light and passively dissipate heat through natural convection. The interior incorporates a Silicon Carbide scattering surface, effectively able to suppress and reduce backscatter of incident CW and Pulsed beams. As a result, laser safety for personnel and equipment is greatly enhanced.

Versatile Mounting Options

These beam dumps are designed to be post-mountable and feature an 8-32 and M4 threaded holes on opposing sides. This configuration allows for direct mounting onto a variety of our posts and pedestals. The PD30, PD50 and PD80 models are also equipped with front imperial and metric tapped holes, providing additional mounting options.
