Helium-Neonlaser

The Model 1507 and 1508 helium-neon laser systems incorporate hard-sealed internal-mirror 1007 and 1008 plasma tubes and power modules into convenient, compact, self-contained packages. These low-cost units demonstrate superior power stability and meet CDRH requirements. The base of the is slotted for easy mounting.

Calcium fluoride is often used in spectroscopic windows and lenses due to its high transmission from 250nm to 7μm. Its low absorption and high damage threshold makes it a popular choice for excimer laser optics. Calcium fluoride’s low index or refraction allows it to be used without an anti-reflective coating. The Knoop hardness of calcium fluoride is 158.3. TECHSPEC® Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) Windows manufactured from vacuum UV grade calcium fluoride are commonly found in cryogenically cooled thermal imaging systems.
