laservision mineral glass laser safety windows

Mineral glass based laser protection windows are commonly used in laser applications with medium to high power lasers for welding, cutting and drilling. Depending on the application they avoid the need for separate laser protection glasses. Mineral glass laser protection windows are in most cases laminated with a thin sheet of neutral glass to increase thermal stability. In case of a direct laser hit or a damage it avoids a drop out of the broken splinters.

The disadvantage against plastic laser protection windows is either, due to the manufacturing process laser safety windows made from absorbing glass are usually not available above a dimension of 296x210mm (DIN A4) or the considerably higher price. The advantage is that a number of colorless filters are available for the NIR- and IR-range (900-11,000nm). These colorless filters ensure a unrestricted color view. laservision develops, manufactures and distributes a large variety of CE marked mineral glass laser safety windows for different laser applications.
