Electromagnetic beam i.e. laser beam, guiding device, for high-power laser system, has swash plate formed from material such as quartz glass, which is transparent to wavelength of electromagnetic beam to be guided

摘要

The device has an optical unit (14) attached to a base plate (16) that comprises a beamguide opening (21) for the optical unit. A housing section (31) is attached to the base plate and contains the optical unit, and a swash plate (24) positions the optical unit in a horizontal position. The swash plate is formed from a material such as quartz glass, glass ceramics, sapphire or crystalline such as Yttrium aluminum garnet, which is transparent to a wavelength of an electromagnetic beam to be guided.
