Care information
Care information
High care information about CO2 laser lenses, fiber laser protective windows, and
fiber laser lenses is essential to ensure the optimal performance and longevity
of these critical components in laser systems. Here are some key points to consider:
CO2 Laser Lenses:
Cleaning:
Regularly clean CO2 laser lenses to remove dust, debris, and residue. Use a
soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning tissue. Avoid using abrasive materials
that may scratch the lens.
Handling:
Always handle CO2 lenses with clean hands or lint-free gloves to avoid transferring oils or contaminants onto the lens surface.
Storage:
Store lenses in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment to prevent damage and
maintain their integrity.
Alignment:
Properly align CO2 lenses within the laser system to ensure efficient laser
beam delivery and focus.
Inspection:
Regularly inspect lenses for signs of damage, scratches, or deterioration.
Replace any damaged or worn lenses promptly.
Fiber
Laser Protective Windows:
Cleaning:
Clean fiber laser protective windows with care to avoid scratches. Use a gentle
cleaning solution and a soft, lint-free cloth.
Protection:
Keep protective windows in place when the laser system is not in use to prevent
contamination and damage.
Replacement:
If protective windows become damaged, replace them immediately to maintain
laser system safety and performance.
Fiber Laser Lenses:
Cleaning:
Clean fiber laser lenses carefully to prevent damage. Use a lens cleaning
solution and a soft, lint-free cloth or lens tissue.
Handling:
Handle fiber laser lenses with care to avoid fingerprints, oils, or scratches
on the lens surface.
Alignment:
Properly align fiber laser lenses to ensure accurate laser beam focusing and
efficient performance.
Inspection:
Regularly inspect fiber laser lenses for signs of wear, damage, or contamination. Replace any compromised lenses promptly.
Environmental Considerations: Be mindful of environmental factors such as temperature and
humidity, as extreme conditions may affect lens performance.
Overall,
maintaining high care and attention to detail when handling, cleaning, and
storing CO2 laser lenses, fiber laser protective windows, and fiber laser
lenses will enhance their longevity and contribute to the smooth and reliable
operation of your laser systems. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines
and best practices for each specific component to ensure optimal results.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
FOR ITEMS IN STOCK:
Orders placed before 2:00 pm EST/EDT on a business day
(Monday - Friday) will ship the same day.
Orders placed after 2:00 pm EST/EDT may not be be shipped
until the next business day.
Our business hours are Monday to Friday, 9 am-4:30 pm.
Orders placed after business hours will not be processed
until the next business day.
Orders placed during the weekend (Saturday - Sunday) or
holiday will be shipped on the next business day.
All packages are shipped FOB ORIGIN – These shipping terms
are characteristic of a “SHIPMENT CONTRACT” and the seller bears the expense
and risk of putting the goods in the possession of the carrier. Title transfers to the buyer at the point when the goods leave the shipper’s loading dock but reverts back to the seller if the buyer follows the correct procedures of notifying the seller of “breach” by “rightfully revoking cceptance.” Even if “breach” has occurred, the buyer remains responsible for filing “carrier loss
claims.”
25mm Mounted ZnSe CO₂ Laser Beam Combiner – 10.6µm with Adjustable Mount
Combine Your CO₂ Laser Beam and Red Dot Alignment Laser with Precision
Improve laser alignment and simplify setup with the American Photonics Mounted ZnSe CO₂ Laser Beam Combiner. This precision optical assembly combines your visible red alignment laser with the invisible 10.6µm CO₂ laser beam, allowing both beams to follow the same optical path for faster, more accurate positioning.
Each beam combiner includes a precision-mounted ZnSe optic housed in an adjustable mount, making installation easier while providing stable, repeatable alignment for CO₂ laser engraving and cutting systems.
How a Beam Combiner Works
A beam combiner is a flat optical window installed at a 45° angle to the laser beam path.
Its specialized optical coating is designed to:
- Transmit approximately 99% of the 10.6µm CO₂ laser beam
- Reflect more than 80% of a visible red alignment laser
This allows the red positioning beam to travel along the exact same path as the cutting beam, making laser alignment significantly easier and more accurate.
Key Features & Benefits
- Complete mounted beam combiner assembly
- Premium laser-grade ZnSe optical window
- Designed for 10.6µm CO₂ laser systems
- Precision 45° beam combining optics
- Transmits approximately 99% of the CO₂ laser beam
- Reflects 80%+ of the visible red laser
- Adjustable mount for easier installation and alignment
- Ideal for red dot positioning upgrades
- Suitable for engraving and cutting systems
Applications
Perfect for:
- CO₂ laser engravers
- CO₂ laser cutters
- Red dot positioning systems
- Beam alignment upgrades
- Industrial laser systems
- OEM and aftermarket laser machines
Important Installation Notice
ZnSe is a soft optical material and should be handled with extreme care.
Excessive pressure on the optic can:
- Distort the crystal structure
- Increase optical reflection losses
- Cause beam distortion
- Create localized overheating
- Shorten the life of the optic
Installation Recommendation
When installing the beam combiner:
- Tighten the retaining ring only until the optic no longer moves inside the holder.
- Do not overtighten.
- Handle the optic only by its edges using clean gloves or approved optical handling tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a beam combiner?
A beam combiner is a coated optical window that combines a visible red alignment laser with an invisible CO₂ laser beam so both follow the same optical path.
Why is it mounted at a 45° angle?
The optical coatings are specifically designed to operate at a 45° angle of incidence, allowing the CO₂ beam to pass through while reflecting the visible red laser.
Does the mount come assembled?
Yes. This product includes the precision-mounted beam combiner optic in an adjustable holder for easier installation and alignment.
Will this reduce my CO₂ laser power?
No. When properly installed, the beam combiner transmits approximately 99% of the CO₂ laser beam, resulting in minimal power loss.
Can I overtighten the optic?
No. ZnSe is relatively soft. Overtightening may distort the optic, reduce transmission, create beam distortion, and shorten its lifespan. Tighten only until the optic is securely held in place.
What is the red laser used for?
The red laser serves as a visible alignment beam, allowing you to accurately position materials before firing the invisible CO₂ laser.

A Beam Combiner is a flat window designed to sit at 45deg. to the beam path.
If mounted properly this window will transmit 99% of the your Co2 laser beam, and reflect more than 80% of the red laser beam.
Use extreme care when mounting this window. ZnSe is very soft. Light pressure can move the crystal structure causing higher reflection, beam distortion, and overheating.
Tighten this optic ONLY to when it stops moving in its holder.
