Laser & Opto Electronics
Ceramic laser components developed and manufactured by MTC engineers offer measurable improvements over more traditional materials in terms of lifespan, efficiency and performance.
By using the expansive knowledge and expertise of our engineers, MTC Rugby produces ceramic laser components that offer serious advantages over more traditional materials. An example would be our high reflectance ceramic cavities, used within our laser reflectors. In this specific instance the use of ceramics over the more traditional metal and polymeric parts has provided extended life time, greater efficiency and reflectance as well as increased uniformity and thermal stability.
Another examples would be the chemical stability and robust joint design of our feedthroughs used in gas lasers. The joint design combined with the chemical stability allows CO2 laser manufacturers to use their systems more intensively, reduce the downtime and reduce operating cost.
The ceramic laser components manufactured by MTC Rugby are utilised in a variety of different applications. Within industry they are used as cutting, welding and marking lasers; in medicine they are frequently used in surgical situations and are even used in the health and beauty industry for the purposes of hair and tattoo removal. By understanding the needs of various industries and manufacturing solutions that meet particular client needs we have built a solid reputation for providing high specifications, bespoke materials and components.
