- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are best for high-power laser welding applications?
**A**: Fused silica (SiO₂) is ideal for most high-power applications due to its excellent thermal stability and damage threshold. Zinc selenide (ZnSe) offers superior transmission for CO₂ lasers, while gallium arsenide (GaAs) provides high durability for demanding industrial environments.

### Q: How does the cooling jacket improve lens performance?
**A**: The integrated cooling jacket maintains optimal operating temperatures by dissipating heat generated during laser welding. This prevents thermal lensing effects, protects optical coatings, and ensures consistent focus precision throughout extended operation cycles.

### Q: What maintenance is required for laser focusing assemblies?
**A**: Regular inspection for surface contamination, periodic cleaning with approved optical solvents, and monitoring of cooling system performance. Anti-reflective coatings should be checked for degradation, and the lens housing should be kept free of particulate matter to maintain beam quality.
