NM Laser Products, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-irradiance laser shutters , has launched a new line of high-performance laser shutters called FlexSorb. These shutters feature a unique non-contact electromagnetic design and superior thermal dissipation. The FlexSorb line of high-performance laser shutters from nmLaser Products has a high damage tolerance and can switch quickly while being small and quiet. The unique design of these shutters uses a low-mass, flexible, ferromagnetic cantilever membrane moved by non-contact electromagnetic techniques, which minimizes the shock, vibration, and wear on the shutter. Engineers at nmLaser developed the FlexSorb shutter line with its non-contact flexure designed to close at a position slightly away from the pole, essentially floating in the air to eliminate any potential vibration or bounce caused by impact deceleration of even the low-mass flexure. These flexures are unaffected by foreign particles clinging to the magnetic pole and
