Laser protection material and laser protection components

摘要

The laser protection material is intended for use in a laser protection filter having an effective wavelength range. The laser protection material has a matrix material of a plastic that is transparent in the effective wavelength range and an absorber material that is embedded into the matrix material in a substantially homogeneous manner, wherein the absorber material absorbs a laser radiation in the effective wavelength range and loses its absorptive capacity in the effective wavelength range when heated to a temperature above a threshold temperature, and wherein the plastic of the matrix material starts to foam when heated to a temperature above the threshold temperature.
