Resonator Mirrors

A laser resonator is the core of a laser. The laser beam is generated in it. It consists of a fully reflecting and a partially reflecting mirror. Between them there is the active laser medium, which is excited by a pump mechanism.

The end mirror reflects light at almost 100 %. The output mirror has a lower defined reflectance and discharges the laser beam from the resonator. If the end mirror also functions as a coupling mirror, it also has an anti-reflective layer to let in the pump radiation.

LAYERTEC produces resonator mirrors for all lasers in the spectral range 130 nm – 7 µm. Depending on the laser type, material combinations and design structures proven over many years are used. In addition to the online shop assortment, individual special mirrors are manufactured according to customer requirements.
