Abstract
A getter for immobilizing water and organic molecules which may be present as impurities in an enclosure for a high power laser. The getter is formulated from selected zeolite compositions having a pore or channel size suitable for immobilizing water and a size range of organic molecules up to about 40 microns. A binder is used to provide a getter having sufficient strength to allow use of the getter in a laser enclosure in a telecommunications application. The binder also provides a substantially dust free getter body to maintain the cleanliness of the interior of the laser enclosure. Getters which immobilize only organics or only water are contemplated.
