Transparent fluid or gel
Transparent fluid or gel
(OP)
Does anyone know if there is a fluid or gel that is relatively transparent to IR/cutting laser light ?
Obviously, water isn't ! I am only thinking of a few cm, but want it to be as energy efficient as possible.

Additionally, I question the notion of trying to ablate something under a fluid. The cooling effect of the fluid will force you to apply a much higher power level to being with. Additionally, since the temperature in the kerf will most likely exceed the boiling point of the fluid, you will get boiling at the kerf, further reducing the incident power into the kerf, and spoiling the beam, making kerf quality extremely poor.
