Dime sized burns on mirrors inside resonator
Dime sized burns on mirrors inside resonator
(OP)
Can anyone tell me why my mirrors inside the resonator develop dime sized burn spots and begin to deteriorate within three to four weeks after installation? My machine is a bystar with a 2800 watt resonator. Any help is appreciated.

Next week I'll post pics of the portion of the machine where the problem shows itself.
Thanks for your input.

The path the laser takes from where it exits the resonator to where it reaches the focus lens has to be clean and free of impurities. The machine we have accomplishes this with encapsulating the entire beam path with flexible bellows. I believe there is always positive airflow through these bellows with cleaned/filtered air to keep debris from getting on the mirrors.
