Where to Buy Beam Combining Optics

The Alpes Lasers Beam Combiner is a platform that allows the output beam of two different quantum cascade lasers in standard HHL housing to be combined into a single beam. The system uses fixed optics to rotate the polarization of one of the beam and combines them using a polarizing plate, resulting in a combined beam with the combined power of both original beams. The platform is supplied with both laser housing installed and aligned. The lasers use separate drivers (drivers and temperature controllers sold separately) and can be driven independently or concurrently.

Cailabs designs and manufactures a wide range of coherent and incoherent fiber-optic beam combiners with very high efficiency and optimal output beam quality, for a wide range of wavelength, from near-IR for direct energy weapons to mid-IR for countermeasure applications. They can be used with quantum cascade lasers, for example.

OPTOMAN offers laser beam combining optics with durable sputtered coatings optimized for laser line or broadband performance, s-pol or p-pol components, ultrashort pulses or CW applications, highest LIDT, and small splitting tolerance. Steep edge dichroic mirrors are available in efficiency-optimized configurations (transmittance >99% or reflectance >99.9%), also featuring minimum pulse dispersion and no spectral drift.

PowerPhotonic has multiple offerings for beam combining. This can be provided through single optics or through a specially designed beam combining module. PowerPhotonic can provide high power handling, freeform optics for beam combining that provides high shaping efficiency and high power in the bucket. These beam combiners are perfectly suited for coherent beam combination and spectral beam combining.

Optical components for beam combining: dichroic mirrors, high transmission dichroic mirrors and laser harmonic separators for Nd host lasers as well as femtosecond Ti:sapphire or Yb:KGW/KYW lasers.
