Air Slits / FSL

Mounted metal foil with a pinhole or slit 400μm or less. Used in spatial filters, laser diffraction experiments and microscopic magnification correction.

A precision etching process creates holes with high circularity and slits with high parallelism.
For YAG lasers (1064nm) and CO2 lasers (10.6μm), pinholes made of high copper coated with gold should be used. Pinholes and slits are pre-mounted in aluminum frames for ease of handling and mounting.
