Reflectors, Flow Tubes, Flow Plates, and Filters for Laser Cavity

ARD Optics offers a wide range of flow tubes, reflectors, and filters for lasers.

Single and Multi-Hole Cavity Filters and Laser Flow Tubes

We offer standard and custom laser flow tubes used in flashlamp-pumped, liquid-cooled lasers. Flow tubes protect laser elements from undesired UV radiation and side radiation from the rod by absorbing it, improving the overall efficiency of the laser.

Standard and Custom-Made Flow Plates

ARD Optics offers a wide range of flow plates, customized to the customer's requirements.

Silver-Coated and Diffuse Reflectors

We offer custom-made silver-coated and diffuse reflector pump cavities, combining a close-coupled intracavity filter with a high-density BaSO₄ (barium sulfate) reflector for enhanced thermal management and optimized spectral performance. Silver-coated reflectors provide high reflectance across the visible NIR spectral range and can be customized to the customer's design; designs with silver-free barrel windows are available for diode pumping.

Diode-Pumped Solid-State DPSS Laser Flow Tubes from Sapphire and Crystalline Quartz

ARD Optics offers side-pumping laser flow tubes processed from crystalline quartz and sapphire.

Overall dimensions, hole diameter, and surface quality are all customizable.

Custom Shapes

Flow tubes are available in round, square, elliptical, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, cylindrical, and half-cylindrical forms — all fully customizable.
