optoSiC is joining Mersen
optoSiC branded SiC mirrors are now part of Mersen. optoSiC has a leading-edge know-how in optical laser scanner techniques and its components.The company utilizes the optimized Silicon Carbide material optoSiC+.
Mersen is a global expert in materials and solutions for extreme environments as well as in the safety and reliability of electrical equipment. Mersen designs innovative solutions to address its clients’ specific needs to enable them to optimize their manufacturing process in sectors such as energy, transportation, electronics, chemical, pharmaceutical and process industries.
With this new business Mersen will increase its know-how in polishing and coating for laser mirrors and therefore develop the accessible market for Boostec, its subsidiary expert in designing and manufacturing solid silicon carbide (SiC) components, particularly for large space and ground-based observation telescopes.
Matthias Struckmeyer and Joachim Hengst will remain contact persons for customers and suppliers of optoSiC.

Visitors of the Photonics West 2011 Trade Fair in San Francisco Expressed Great Interest in SiC Mirrors Made by the optoSiC Company
Diverse International Fair Visitors
For the optoSiC company the annual Photonics West Trade Fair in San Francisco is a major laser industry event. The fair gave optoSiC opportunities to cultivate personal contacts with American customers and prospects. Many international fair visitors were also very eager to learn about the benefits and applications of the SiC scanner mirrors made by optoSic and attended the demonstrations with great interest.
Product Innovations are in High Demand
Visitors were particularly interested in using faster scanner mirrors to increase the performance of laser application. Our audiences always got quite animated and expressed their special appreciation when we explained how our mirrors significantly increase the cycle efficiency and decrease the process costs at the same time.
Our innovations attracted broad interest:
SiC Mirrors in our FLATS Series
Our SiC mirrors are made of the tried and tested optoSiC+ with a material thickness of only 1mm. These mirrors represent an alternative to the present mass market optic materials. The reduced mass and extreme stiffness of the optoSiC+ material provide customers with significantly faster first rate mirrors. We have very successfully started this new product series providing XY 10 mm and XY 15 mm sizes for standard applications with the option of customized designs.
SiC Mirrors XY 50 Generic
Starting in May 2011, optoSic will also offer a standard mirror for 50-mm applications. This mirror is an addition to our current SiC mirrors XY 10G, XY 15G, XY 20G and XY 30G. Thanks to the patented finned structure, top speeds are possible at a very small moment of inertia.
Customized SiC Mirrors
optoSiC’s core expertise in producing customized SiC mirrors also resonated very well with fair visitors. We design, develop and produce complex SiC mirrors according to customer specifications. The customer gets the mirror, which is most suitable for the planned application.
SiC Components
This was the first time we also showed our new components made of the optoSiC+ material. The exhibited satellite component was specifically made for one of our customers. The model application demonstrated our great depth of skill and expertise to trade fair visitors.
The optoSiC company appreciates the interest of all visitors to our trade fair stand. We thank you and hope to enjoy the same great resonance at the upcoming LASER 2011 trade fair in Munich from May 23 - 26, 2011.
