It’s a kind of magic
The constantly increasing outputs of laser-cutting systems pose a real challenge on the lenses, because in the case of high-output laser beams, a rather low absorption rate is required in order to maintain full and constant process control. Lens makers like Ophir Optronics took on the challenge and have developed lenses that are not only able to cope with the highest available laser outputs, but also have a higher lifespan in comparison with their predecessors, despite the higher outputs.
