3M™ Ion Laser Cathodes are filaments for ion lasers. Ion lasers are most commonly used in the printing and entertainment industries. They are also used for research in molecular microscopy and spectroscopy. 3M ion laser cathodes are available in a variety of custom configurations and processing options, including aluminate impregnant mole ratios, various surface treatments for uniform thermal emissivity, value added assemblies and others. Cathode machining is accomplished using CNC machines producing tolerances of ±0.001" or better as required, while maintaining surface finishes of 32 microinches or better. Typical discharge currents range from 5 to 50 amps.Information provided by 3M™ |
