Optical Chopper System

As a former laser manufacturer, C&S knows the needs of its customers. C&S was the first to manufacture both thermopile and pyroelectric laser power and energy detectors. The acquisition of Spectrum Detector Inc allowed to add measurement solutions for the new and rapidly expanding THz market, ultra-sensitive optical Joule meters for applications down to femto joules, instruments for pulse to pulse energy measurements up to 200 kHz and Optical TRAP detectors that act as primary calibration standards, to name a few.

Our Nd:YAG laser harmonic beamsplitters act as dichroic filters to separate laser harmonics after frequency multiplication. These beamsplitters are precision polished select grade fused silica coated with hard refractory multilayers for high damage threshold.

  • Separate or combine Nd:YAG harmonics and the 1064 nm primary
  • High damage threshold
  • Low wavefront distortion
  • Hard refractory coatings for high damage threshold
  • 10-5 scratch-dig surface quality
  • AR coated back surface eliminates ghosting
