Beam combiners are partial reflectors that combine two or more wavelengths of light—one in transmission and one in reflection—onto a single beam path. Since the 10.6 micron laser is invisible, in laser marking, we often need to know the laser’s focus to ensure correct marking positions. By using a dichroic laser beam combiner, we can combine the visible 650nm red light emitted by the diode with the 10.6 micron laser into one beam. This way, the 650nm red light indicates the position of the 10.6 micron laser. In laser cutting, a laser cutter beam combiner is essential for precisely combining different wavelengths, ensuring high accuracy and efficiency. Surface 1: T>99%@10.6um, 45° AOI Surface 2: T>99%@10.6um, R>85%@650nm, 45° AOI. These high-performance beam combiners help achieve greater precision and efficiency in various applications.
