Notice             ¡ï Because polished surface could easily catch moistures,  KDP must be kept in dry condition (<50%) and sealed housing.
¡ï Engineers can select and design the best solution for you, if the main parameters of your laser are  provided, such as energy per pulse, pulse width and repetition rate for a pulsed laser, power for a cw laser, laser beam diameter, mode condition, divergence, wavelength tuning range, etc.
