How to use ceramic cavity reflectors for Nd:YAG lasers?

The ceramic reflectors used in Nd:YAG lasers are with reflection 97% at wavelength 600-1000nm and 95% reflection at wavelength 400-1200nm. Today let’s talk about the cautions when you use ceramic reflectors.

Do not put high pressure on it during transportation. When the size is not suitable for the pump chamber, don’t put the ceramic reflectors into the chamber by force.
Half glazing ceramic reflectors must be sealed with the chamber in order to avoid cooling liquid indrawing. Or the reflection may go down quickly.
Do not scratch the reflector during assembly and maintenance, or the reflection will go down quickly.
Please choose correct cooling system line & material of equipment in short-wave(eg.755nm) high-temperature system, or the metallic oxide which is dissociated from them will pollute the ceramic reflectors.

The Difference Between HTCC and LTCC

What is HTCC? It means high-temperature co-fired ceramics which is using alumina, AlN and other ceramic material to be sintering with conductor materials (Mo, W, Mo, Mn) under high temperature of 1600°C. This is first designed by RCA company by the end of the 1950s. Due to the high temperature, it can not use low melting point metal materials like gold, silver and copper, but Mo, W, Mo, Mn.

This material is low conductivity so it will lead to signal delay. So it is not suitable to make high speed or high frequency micro-assembled electric subgrade board. But the advantages of the HTCC are High structural strength, high thermal conductivity, good chemical stability, high wiring density. It has a wide application prospect in high power micro-assembly circuit.

How about LTCC? It has a lower sintering temperature lower than 900°C, using AU, Ag, Cu high conductivity low melting point metal materials could be sintering by air. It is widely used for Rf, microwave and millimetre wave devices.

So when you choosing the ceramic material, please pay attention to what application you need so that you will know if choosing a high temperature or low-temperature ceramic. By the way, our ceramic heater belongs to HTCC.

Advantages of Ceramic-to-Metal Seals

The Ceramic Surfaces for Brazing, the surface must be metallized.

Compare to Glass seal, Ceramic seal has exceptional resistance to thermal and mechanical shock as well as corrosion. While it requires more complex manufacturing processes and sophisticated engineering, the price is obviously higher.

Advantages of Ceramic-to-Metal Seals

More solid, durable hermetic seal and better electrical insulation
Used for more harsh conditions, such as high and low (cryogenic) temperature, corrosive, high pressure, and high vacuum environments
High mechanical strength, less fracture when applied to high vibration and high g-load conditions
Shows strong bond and an excellent seal with metals and alloys, such as copper and Cu alloys (CuNi) and to nickel and Ni alloys.

Besides the above advantages, ceramic-to-metal still has more advantages to be discovered, welcome to consult with us for more details.

Why Choose Boron Nitride material as insulators in polysilicon ingot furnace?

Boron Nitride is with high-temperature resistance, high thermal conductivity, and high electrical insulation. And it’s easy to machine to high precision parts with low density, non-toxic and self-lubricating properties. So it’s an ideal choice to use as a high temperature conducting material.

Boron Nitride parts in polysilicon ingot furnace can work longer than Alumina. Alumina will crack easily when the temperature goes up quickly and Boron Nitride won’t crack in the same situation.
