Laser Systems
Versatile, durable and fail-safe designs for laser applications
Laser systems often require blocking devices to avoid injury from accidental exposure. Brandstrom Instruments solenoid-actuated shutters are frequently used in safety applications but are also used to redirect, filter or attenuate laser light.
Brandstrom Instruments' optical shutters are commonly used in laser safety applications. Customizable laser shutter solutions for your unique requirements.
We offer reflective finishes, innovative blade shapes, hall effect sensors, ND filters and many more features not found in off-the-shelf products. Our shutters are used in commercial, scientific, medical and defense laser applications including:
- Neutral density (ND)/ optical density (OD) filter positioning
- General laser safety
- Laser surgery
- Target acquisition
- Fiber optics
Defense Application Spotlight: Future Laser System Programs
Brandstrom has ongoing advanced engineering efforts to address the shutter requirements of future laser system programs such as Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS). JETS is the next generation modular day/night all-weather use precision Laser Target Locating System for threat targets and designating threat targets for engagement by Global Position System (GPS) precision laser guided munitions for a variety of Army and Joint weapons.
Our shutters provide advance laser program designers with proven value added features and a low risk technical approach. Use of existing shutters ensures compliance or exceeds critical system performance parameters. Commonality features transition the existing battlefield-proven performance, high reliability and streamlined logistics support to your new product.
Brandstrom Instruments can provide innovative solutions for your products, too. Please contact us to discuss your specific application.
