| Accuflect: Light-Reflecting Ceramic Accuflect
reflects 95% to 99% of incident light from 450 nm to 2500 nm. The
reflectivity is essentially non-specular with nearly perfect LAMBERTIAN
behavior across the entire spectrum. Manufacture
Accuflect material is fabricated with high purity non-transition metal
oxides. Accuratus engineers working with many established laser
physicists, laser engineers and materials scientists have
developed a closely controlled manufacturing environment capable of
producing the structured physical microstructure necessary to yield the
highest possible diffuse light reflectance. Available Types
Accuflect is available in two product types. The B6 material has the
virgin surface produced during manufacture. The G6 material has a
specialty glaze applied to seal the surface porosity of the virgin
material, allow easy cleaning and provide a non-contaminating surface
where it is exposed to atmosphere or liquid environments. Properties
The binary and ternary group metal oxides have a large band gap between
their valence and conduction bands so they absorb little radiation
between the ultraviolet and infrared. The fine microstructure and
discontinuous refractive indices of the ceramic body combine to
maximize light reflectance from the surface.  
Measurements Performed by Optical Data Associates Tucson, AZ Physical properties are listed in the Materials section under Accuflect. Available Sizes
Optimal optical performance requires proprietary fabrication and firing
processes developed by Accuratus. For your design purposes, the initial
material forms are pressed as rods and blocks. For large orders, the
material can be pressed to near net shape.

Accuflect is used in high energy laser systems (see Case Studies)
and high temperature environments where repeatable, uniformly diffuse
and highly efficient light reflection is required. The Bottom Line
If you need a reflector material capable of being formed in complex
geometries, usable up to 1000°C, capable of maintaining reflectance and
integrity even under intense UV exposure then consider Accuflect: The Light Reflecting Ceramic for your application. See also: Custom Products and Services > Laser Ceramics
