We have developed a replacement ceramic reflector that is highly Lambertian
and reaches 96% reflectivity. Our reflector is fully glazed. The glazing process increases
resistance to soiling. The longevity of your reflectors depend on the
quality of the cooling water as Vbeam ceramics are bathed directly in the
water. Any contaminates in the coolant water will fuse to the ceramics
(and the dye cell as well as the flash lamp/flow tube) and gradually decrease
the ceramic reflectivity/light transmission. As the reflectors and other
materials in the head become soiled, higher and higher flash lamp voltages will
be required to produce the desired beam intensity. This increased voltage slows
your repetition rate and hastens dye degradation/head degradation as well
as places increased stress on many of the electrical sub-systems. Soiling of the
coolant water occurs from degradation of the de-ionizer cartridge (should be
replaced every year), growth of bacteria (which forms a bio-film), and
dust/dirt. Optimally, you should flush and change the coolant water every
3 months. You should use reagent grade water and not low grade distilled
water from the grocery store as suggested by the OEM (your hospital lab will
usually let you have some high quality water). You should replace the de-ionizer
cartridge every year as well. Lastly, you should rebuild the head parts of
the water cooler Iwaki pump after your laser has reached about 1 million pulses
to prevent degraded materials from entering the coolant water.
