SCHOTT presented new phosphate laser glass for high-power lasers

APG-760 phosphate laser glass is made for high-performance applications at 1.05 μm. The glass is available in various versions and can be flexibly adapted to the needs and requirements of applications. Dielectric coatings are also possible.

With its new APG-760 phosphate laser glass, the international technology group SCHOTT presented a new special glass for high-performance applications at LASER World of Photonics in Munich. The glass has improved thermomechanical properties and is best suited as an active material in laser systems with high pulse powers, for example in femtosecond laser systems.

Made in Duryea, PA
The new laser glass was designed in Duryea in the U.S. where production and refining are carried out. The glass is available with Nd3+ doping from 1% to 4%.

Along with the new APG-760 phosphate laser glass, visitors to LASER World of Photonics in Munich (booth 410, hall B1) were able to discover high-precision optical components. Prisms and aspherical lenses are manufactured according to customer-specific specifications and ensure exceptional image quality in optical systems due to their precise processing. SCHOTT supplies added value not only as a glass manufacturer but also supplies finished components with high-end polish and coatings.
