A line of CO₂ laser optics optimized for 10.6 microns that are in-stock for popular etching, marking, and thin metal cutting lasers are available from Laser Research Optics .

Laser Research CO₂ Optics are designed to promote sharper cuts with fewer passes and are optimized for 10.6 microns. The lenses feature coatings with less than 0.2 percent total absorption values to keep them cooler and the silicon turning mirrors have an enhanced DBMR coating to provide up to 99.6 percent reflectivity. They are available off-the-shelf with 24-hour delivery.

Suited for OEMs or as field replacements for end-users, Laser Research CO₂ Optics meet ISO-10110 specifications for optical elements. The lenses are offered in 0.5" to 1.5" dia. sizes with focal lengths from 1.0" to 25" in 0.5" increments and the Silicon Silver DBMR coated turning mirrors come in 0.75" to 3.0" dia. sizes from 2 to 10 mm thick.
