DescriptionSpecifications Models Catalog PDF

Our high-energy pinholes are fabricated from ultra-thin molybdenum, a refractory alloy with high heat conductivity and melting point. This material exhibits almost no warping due to localized heating by the laser. A smooth hole with extremely low ellipticity is produced using laser drilling techniques. These pinholes have a laser damage threshold of 75 MW/cm2 CW and are suitable for pulsed laser use up to 700 mJ/cm2. They are available unmounted or mounted for use with our Model 900 or 910A spatial filters.
