The PD10 Laser Beam Dump is used to absorb 200 to 3000 nm incident light and capture unwanted laser beams up to 10 W average power. In the optics laboratory, they are used to stop stray laser beams to protect personel and equipment. In instrumentation, laser beam dumps are used to contain a beam within a portion of the instrument. The PD series features Silicon Carbide construction to be effective in numerous laser applications. The PD10 utilizes 0.535-40 external threads to easily pair with an adaptor mount and offers a maximum acceptance angle of ±5°, providing flexibility and accuracy in beam management.
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.
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
