Ophir Optronics’ CO2 Optics Group Announces Ultra-Low Absorption Lens For All High-Power CO2 Laser Systems

November 2008

Ophir Optronics Ltd., a global leader in precision IR optics components and laser measurement equipment, announced today that its CO2 Optics Group has developed an ultra-low absorption lens called Clear Magic™, as a complement to its Black Magic™ lens known for its high durability and long life expectancy


Clear Magic™ features the same unique characteristics of its Black Magic™ counterpart while providing the benefits of a coating transparent to visible light. The new lens uses the same top layer as Black Magic™ which offers superior cleaning properties and scratch resistance. Its transparent coating allows HeNe beams to be seen on the work piece, while polarizing filters help to detect thermally-induced stress. Clear Magic™ is available in 1.5” and 2” diameters for most popular OEM systems.

 

“Clear Magic™ delivers increased focus stability and durability, and is compatible with most plasma detection systems applications,” stated Yehiel Plaut, Sales and Marketing Director for Ophir Optronics' CO2 Optics Group. “Its ultra-low absorption rates answer the growing demands of today’s higher powered laser systems.”
