Bedford, NH – Bold Laser Automation, Inc., is excited to unveil its latest breakthrough in laser technology: Laser Safety Mirrors (LSM). These mirrors provide a streamlined and efficient means of aligning laser optical systems, eliminating the need for traditional—and more expensive—techniques such as alignment cards or complex beam imaging devices. This innovation, based on a technology developed by Todd E. Lizotte, CEO of Bold Laser Automation, represents a significant advancement in both industrial and academic laser applications, ensuring precision alignment, cleanroom and laboratory safety, and reduced laser system downtime.
The Laser Safety Mirrors leverage a unique mechanism that forms a quick, observable spot based on the typical 0.1% leakage into the bulk substrate of the mirrors. This design ensures precise alignment while maintaining the integrity of the optical laser beam delivery systems. The mirror designs are offered with the following specifications:
A Bold Laser Safety Mirror ensures precise alignment of the laser beam on the LSM2 optical laser beam delivery system
Offered in the LSM1 (1-inch) and LSM2 (2-inch) mirror diameters
Compatible with these wavelengths:
- (NIR) 1064nm-1080nm
- (VIS) 514nm-532nm
- (UV) 355nm-266nm
“Traditional alignment methods, such as burn cards, pose significant risks especially in cleanroom environments required for applications involving medical device manufacturing and semiconductor production,” explained Todd E. Lizotte. “Our laser safety alignment mirrors not only prevent potential contamination but also enhance the safety and efficiency of the alignment process and reduce downtime.”
Cleanroom environments necessitate stringent controls to prevent contamination. Conventional burn cards used for alignment can catch fire or generate particles that compromise the cleanliness and integrity of these sensitive environments. The Laser Safety Mirrors from Bold mitigate these risks, offering a safer and cleaner alternative for aligning industrial lasers.
Bold Laser Automation’s commitment to advancing laser technology continues to drive innovation in the industry. The introduction of laser safety mirrors underscores the company’s dedication to providing high-quality, cost-effective solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customers.
