Laser Beam Dumps
Laser Beam Dumps
PD Series laser beam dumps feature a patent-pending structure designed to absorb incident light and passively dissipate heat through natural convection. Laser beam dumps are used to capture unwanted and stray beams or contain a beam within a portion of an instrument.
- Absorbs incident laser beams
- Patent pending design minimizes backskatter
- Up to 80 W maximum power
- Multiple imperial and metric mounting options built-in See All Features

Features
Enhanced Laser Safety with Backscatter Control
The PD Series Beam Dumps feature an innovative patent-pending structure designed to absorb incident light and passively dissipate heat through natural convection. The interior incorporates a Silicon Carbide scattering surface, effectively able to suppress and reduce backscatter of incident CW and Pulsed beams. As a result, laser safety for personnel and equipment is greatly enhanced.
Versatile Mounting Options
These beam dumps are designed to be post-mountable and feature an 8-32 and M4 threaded holes on opposing sides. This configuration allows for direct mounting onto a variety of our posts and pedestals. The PD30, PD50 and PD80 models are also equipped with front imperial and metric tapped holes, providing additional mounting options.
Easily Integrate with 30 mm Cage System
The PD10 and PD30 can be coupled with adapters (SP30C and AP30C respectively) to conveniently integrate into existing 30 mm cage assemblies.
