BS EN ISO 11151-2:2000

Lasers and laser-related equipment. Standard optical components. Components for the infrared spectral range | Status: Revised, Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This part of ISO 11151 specifies requirements for laser components used in the infrared spectral range, from wavelengths 2,10 μm to 15,0 μm, and facilitates the supply of spare parts:

• - by specifying preferred dimensions and tolerances, thereby reducing the variety of types;
• - by standardizing the specifications and removing barriers to trade;
• - by establishing an agreed designation for item orders.

This part of ISO 11151 covers planar, plano-spherical and spherical substrates, lenses and optical components that are designed specifically as standardized optical components normally offered via catalogue from suppliers and intended for use with lasers. This part of ISO 11151 includes component descriptions, materials employed, physical dimensions and manufacturing tolerances (including surface finish, figure and parallelism). Although most, but not all of these components will be coated (fully reflecting, partially reflecting or anti-reflecting) before incorporation into the laser system, this part of ISO 11151 does not include recommendations for the specification of coatings.

NOTE For optical components used in the ultra-violet, visible and near infrared spectral ranges (190 nm to 2 100 nm), refer to ISO 11151-1. For the specification and testing of optical coatings, refer to the ISO 9211 series.
