Laser and laser-related equipment - Standard optical components - Part 1: Components for the UV, visible and near-infrared spectral ranges (ISO 11151-1:2000)

This Standard specifies requirements for laser components used in the near-ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared spectral ranges, from 190 nm to 2100 nm and facilitates the supply of spare parts. It specifies preferred dimensions and tolerances for planer, plano-spherical and spherical substrates, lenses and optical components that are designed specifically as standardized optical components normally offered via catalogues from suppliers and intended for use with lasers.

Laser und Laseranlagen - Optische Standardkomponenten - Teil 1: Komponenten für den UV-, sichtbaren und nah-infraroten Spektralbereich (ISO 11151-1:2000)

Dieser Teil von ISO 11151 legt Anforderungen an Laserkomponenten fest, die im nahen UV-, sichtbaren und nahen Infrarot-Spektralbereich von 190 nm bis 2 100 nm angewendet werden und erleichtert die Bereitstellung von Ersatzteilen durch: - Festlegung von Vorzugsmaßen und Toleranzen, wodurch die Typenvielfalt verringert wird; - Normung der Spezifikationen und Beseitigung von Handelsschranken; - Aufstellung eines vereinbarten Bezeichnungssystems für Artikelbestellungen.

Lasers et équipements associés aux lasers - Composants optiques standards - Partie 1: Composants pour les plages spectrales UV, visible et proche de l'infrarouge (ISO 11151-1:2000)

La présente partie de l'ISO 11151 spécifie les exigences pour les composants pour laser utilisés dans les plages spectrales proche de l'UV, visible et proche de l'infrarouge, pour les longueurs d'onde entre 190 nm et 2 100 nm, et vise à faciliter la fourniture de pièces détachées - en spécifiant des classes de dimensions et de tolérances préférentielles, d'où une réduction de la variété des types; - en normalisant les spécifications et en éliminant les entraves au commerce; - en établissant une désignation agréée à des fins de commande. La présente partie de l'ISO 11151 couvre les substrats plans, plan-sphériques et sphériques, les lentilles et les composants optiques qui sont considérés spécifiquement comme des composants optiques normalisés, proposés dans les catalogues des fabricants et censés être utilisés avec des lasers. La présente partie de l'ISO 11151 concerne les descriptions de composants, les matériaux employés, les dimensions physiques et les tolérances de fabrication (y compris le traitement, la courbure et le parallélisme des surfaces). Bien que la plupart, mais non la totalité, de ces composants, fassent l'objet d'un revêtement (totalement réfléchissant, partiellement réfléchissant ou anti-réfléchissant) avant leur incorporation au système laser, la présente partie de l'ISO 11151 n'énonce aucune recommandation ayant trait à la spécification des revêtements.
NOTE : Dans le cas des composants optiques utilisés dans la plage spectrale infrarouge (> 2 100 nm), se reporter à l'ISO 11151-2. Pour la spécification et l'essai des revêtements optiques, se reporter aux Normes internationales de la série IS0 9211.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 11151 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 11151-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and optical
instruments, Subcommittee SC 9, Electro-optical systems.
ISO 11151 consists of the following parts, under the general title Lasers and laser-related equipment — Standard
optical components:
� Part 1: Components for the UV, visible and near-infrared spectral ranges
� Part 2: Components for the infrared spectral range

ISO 11151-1:2000(E)
Introduction
Lasers are used in a wide variety of applications, including medicine, materials processing, information technology
and metrology. Most lasers contain optical windows and mirrors (intracavity) and most laser systems use a variety
of windows, beamsplitters, deflectors, mirrors and lenses. Those components used in high power laser applications
must withstand high peak power and/or energy densities to avoid laser-induced damage, thus their component
specifications are more demanding than those used in low power applications.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11151-1:2000(E)
Lasers and laser-related equipment — Standard optical
components —
Part 1:
Components for the UV, visible and near-infrared spectral ranges
1 Scope
This part of ISO 11151 specifies requirements for laser components used in the near ultra-violet, visible and near
infrared spectral ranges, from wavelengths 190 nm to 2 100 nm, and facilitates the supply of spare parts
� by specifying preferred dimensions and tolerances, thereby reducing the variety of types;
� by standardizing the specifications and removing barriers to trade;
� by establishing an agreed designation for item orders.
This part of ISO 11151 covers planar, plano-spherical and spherical substrates, lenses and optical components that
are designed specifically as standardized optical components normally offered via catalogue from suppliers and
intended for use with lasers.
This part of ISO 11151 includes component descriptions, materials employed, physical dimensions and
manufacturing tolerances (including surface finish, figure and parallelism). Although most, but not all, of these
components are coated (fully reflecting, partially reflecting or anti-reflecting) before incorporation into the laser
system, this part of ISO 11151 does not include recommendations for the specification of coatings.
NOTE For optical components used in the infrared spectral range (> 2 100 nm), refer to ISO 11151-2. For the
specification and testing of optical coatings, refer to the ISO 9211 series.

4 Materials
This part of ISO 11151 is applicable to components employed in the near ultra-violet, visible and near infrared
wavelength regions, 190 nm to 2 100 nm. A wide range of materials may be used, such as:
� borosilicate crown glass;
� fused silica;
� UV-grade fused silica;
� calcium fluoride.
In view of the wide variety of materials available, the use of specific code numbers for each material has not been
formalized. Manufacturers and designers shall therefore specify the exact materials used/required. The material
specification shall be given as stated in subclause 4.7 of ISO 10110-1:1996. If birefringent materials are
used/specified, the orientation of the optical axis relative to the geometric axes of the components shall be stated.
5 Requirements for quality
Preferred specifications and classes for material and surface quality are set out in Tables 2 to 6, using terminology
in accordance with parts 1 to 7 of ISO 10110. The standard of quality for components to be used with lasers is in
general higher than for general optics. There is also a quality requirement for optics to be used inside a laser cavity
(intracavity use) distinctly different from that for optics used outside the laser cavity, due to the extremely high power
and energy densities developed inside the laser cavity and the possibility of laser-induced damage.

1)
In consequence this part of ISO 11151 promulgates two classes of quality . Class A optics are designed for intra-
cavity optics, output couplers and for components used in areas of extremely high power (energy) density. Class A
optics have significantly tighter form tolerance (3/.) and surface imperfection tolerance (5/.) figures than do Class
B optics. It should also be noted that the surface dig and pit critical dimensions for laser-induced damage are �/10
to 10�, where� is the wavelength of operation of the laser.
The differences between the material/fabrication tolerances for flat circular windows, WC, flat output couplers, OC,
and flat mirrors, MF, and those for optical flats, OF, are due to the far higher fabrication tolerances for the latter and
the fact that there is only one fabrication tolerance irrespective of the component diameter. The parallelism
�5
fabrication tolerances are (0� 10)�� (angular seconds) for optical flats, while they are 15 � (angular minutes) for
�1
the other components. This is because optical flats are designed to generate constructive interference within the
component, while the others aim to minimize this effect.
