Optical Cells
«Elan Ltd» presents a series of optical cells which were developed
and manufactured on the basis of optical bonding
These optical cells may be used as an elements for the formation of a parallel
layers of active medium in dye based high-power lasers.
Optical cell consists of entering and output window with apertures
for the filling and exhaustion of operating fluid or gas. The capacity
of the optical cell, filled with a fluid or gas is formed with
the help of ring with a necessary width.

Assemblage of optical cell’s parts based on optical
bonding technology allows:
• to achieve 100 % of tightness;
• To increase durability of optical cell;
• To increase ecological safety of cell’s usage.
