CADB® optical bonding technology. CADB results in epoxy-free optical paths that are 100% optically transparent with negligible scattering and absorptive losses at the interfaces.
CADB can be used with or without our (IBS) ion-beam-sputtered dielectric thin film coatings to produce high energy laser optics and solid state laser components such as polarizing beamsplitter cubes, microchip lasers and wave plates.
- Adhesive-free bonding of coated or uncoated surfaces
- Wide range of materials including YAG, Nd:YAG, SiC and sapphire
- Zero thickness bondline (no wedge, no scattering, no absorption)
- Suitable for high power solid state laser assemblies
Epoxy-free products available:
- Microchip and Thin disk lasers
- Beamsplitter cubes
- Planar waveguides
- Air-gap etalons
- Zero-order waveplates
- Laser rods with endcaps
- Custom monolithic assemblies
