Thin film polarizers are based on interference within a dielectric optical thin-film coating on a thin glass substrate. They are made from composed materials which include a polarizing film, an inner protective film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and an outer protective film. Thin film polarizers are used for polarization separation, that's to say to change un-polarized beam into linear polarized beam.

Polarization optics is important for both intra and extra cavity use. By using high contrast thin film polarizers in their design, laser engineers can save weight and volume within the laser system without influencing the output. Compared with polarizing prisms, polarizers have larger incident angle and can be made with larger apertures. Compared with polarizers made from birefringent crystals, the advantage of thin film polarizers made from UVFS or N-BK7 is that they can be fabricated in very large sizes, therefore are particularly well suited for high laser powers and UV wavelengths.

Polarization is an important characteristic of light. Polarizers are key optical elements for controlling your polarization, transmitting a desired polarization state while reflecting, absorbing or deviating the rest. There is a wide variety of polarizer designs, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

WISOPTIC use in-house made dye laser cells to make dye laser handpieces. Pure input beam at 532nm is required to produce output beams of 585nm/595nm (energy over 100 mJ) and 650nm/660nm (energy over 80 mJ).

Nd:YAG (Neodimium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) has been and continue to be the most widely used laser crystal for solid-state lasers.

Dye Laser Handpiece are devices that screw onto the end of the laser's arm and convert the energy that the laser produces into different, new wavelengths of light.The two most common dye handpiece wavelengths are 585 nm and 650 nm, which attach to Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers. For these wavelengths to be produced, the Nd:YAG's 1064 nm wavelength is frequency-doubled to produce the 532 nm wavelength, which is then converted by the dye handpieces to produce either 585 nm or 650 nm. WISOPTIC use in-house made dye laser cells to make dye laser handpieces.

Nd:YAG (Neodymium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, Nd:Y3Al5O12) has been and continues to be the most mature and most  widely used crystals for lasers, no matter solid state or lamp pumped, CW or pulsed. It possesses a combination of properties uniquely  favorable for laser operations. Nd:YAG crystals are used in all types of solid-state lasers systems-frequency-doubled continuous wave, high-energy Q-switched, and so on.

Ceramic Laser Reflector (Ceramic Laser Cavity) works particularly well in Ruby, Nd:YAG, or Alexendrite laser pumping chambers and can be a highly cost effective alternative to metal coated reflectors. Compared to metal reflectors, ceramic units offer higher reflectivity and therefore enhanced laser power. Surfaces can be sealed and coated with a solarization-resistant glaze to give high bulk reflectivity.

BBO is an effective NLO crystal for the SHG, THG, or FHG of Nd:YAG lasers, and the first-rate NLO crystal for the FHG at 213nm. Conversion efficiencies of more than 70% for SHG, 60% for THG and 50% for 4HG, and 200mw output at 213 nm (5HG) have been obtained through using Wisoptic's BBO, respectively.BBO is also an efficient crystal for the intracavity SHG of excessive energy Nd:YAG lasers. for the intracavity SHG of an acousto-optic Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, greater than 15 w average power at 532 nm generated via an AR-coated BBO crystal produced by Wisoptic.

When choosing a window, the user should consider whether the material's transmission properties and the mechanical properties of the substrate are consistent with specific requirements of the application. Coating is another important issue for choosing a proper window. WISOPTIC offer a wide variety optical windows with different coatings, e.g. anti-reflection coated precision windows for Nd:YAG laser applications.

Highly doped (50%) Erbium YAG is a well-known laser source for producing 2940nm emission, commonly used in medical (e.g. cosmetic skin resurfacing), and dental (e.g. oral surgery) applications due to the strong water and hydroxapatite absorption at this wavelength.Low doped (< 1%) Erbium YAG hase been studied as an efficient means to generate high power and high energy 1.6 micron 'eye-safe' laser emission thru 2 level resonant pumping schemes.

Wisoptic' standard and precision quality laser windows are fabricated from a variety of substrate materials, e.g.  UVFS and N-BK7. They are available either with or without AR coatings, and with dia from 12.5 to 101.6 mm and thickness from 1 to 15 mm. Also we offer uncoated rectangular windows with aperture from 15 x 20 to 50.8 x 50.8 mm and thickness from 2 to 10 mm.

KDP (KH2PO4 ) and DKDP/KD*P (KD2PO4 ) are among the most widely-used commercial NLO materials. With good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high birefringence, these material are usually used for doubling, tripling and quadrupling of Nd:YAG laser. With high E-O coefficient, KDP and DKDP crystals are also widely used to make Pockels cells for laser system, such as Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti-Sapphire, Alexandrite, etc.

When classified by coatings, Optical Mirrors consist of dielectric mirrors and metallic mirrors. Dielectric mirror is an optical mirror made of thin layers of dielectric coating layers deposited on an optical substrate (UVFS or BK7). WISOPTIC offer dielectric laser mirrors for laser lines, for narrowband or broadband wavelength ranges covering spectrum from UV to IR. Metallic mirrors are coated with protected gold, silver, or aluminum. Metallic mirrors are widely used due to a moderate level of reflection over a very broad spectral range.

Front surface mirrors are coated with aluminum or dielectrics for maximum reflection. WISOPTIC provides both kinds of front surface mirrors: metal coated mirror and dielectric coated mirror.Dielectric mirror is an optical mirror made of thin layers of dielectric coating layers deposited on an optical substrate (UVFS or BK7).  Dielectric laser mirrors are used for laser lines, for narrowband or broadband wavelength ranges covering spectrum from UV to IR. Metallic mirrors are coated with protected gold, silver, or aluminum.

Dye laser headpiece made from WISOPTIC has very high conversion efficiency: 65%~75% for 532/585nm, 45%~55% for 532/650nm.

Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP) and Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate (DKDP) are among the most widely-used commercial NLO materials, characterized by good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high birefringence, though their NLO coefficients are relatively low. They are usually used for doubling, tripling or quadrupling of a Nd:YAG laser (at constant temperature).

The Ceramic Laser Reflectors are high reflectance cavities used in solid state and CO2 laser systems. They are built either as a one-piece or two-piece system based on customer requirement.Ceramic cavities produce diffuse reflectance, which offers a very uniform beam profile. This diffuse reflectance also distributes light and consequently decreases hot spots in the pumped medium. These completely dense materials (e.g. Al2O3) exhibit higher strength and scratch resistance than traditional polymeric and thermoplastic materials.

Tm3+:YLF crystal has a high absorption peak around 792 nm which locates in the diode pumping range, and also has a cross-relaxation process that provides the possibility for each absorbed pump photon to produce to ions at higher laser energy level. Tm3+: YLF laser is very suitable as a pump source for Ho3+:YAG laser. This is due to the good overlap of the emission band of Tm3+:YLF and the absorption band of Ho3+:YAG, and the ability to produce a linearly polarized output.

Characterized by the excelent UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high birefringence, KDP (Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate) are commonly used commercial NLO materials for doubling, tripling and quadrupling of Nd:YAG laser at room temperature or an elevated temperature. KDP are also excellent electro-optic (EO) crystals with high EO coefficients, thus popularly used as EO modulators and Pockels cells for Q-switched lasers.

Ytterbium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Yb:YAG) is more suitable for diode-pumping than the traditional Nd-doped laser crystal. Compared with the commonly used Nd:YAG, Yb:YAG has the following advantages: three to four times lower thermal loading per unit pump power and much larger absorption bandwidth to reduce thermal management requirements for diode lasers, longer upper-laser level lifetime.
