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.

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.

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.

TECHSPEC® dichroic laser beam combiners are designed to efficiently combine or separate multiple laser beams at a 45° angle of incidence. They feature greater than 98% reflection and greater than 95% transmission at popular laser lines, yielding exceptionally low loss. Constructed from low autofluorescence substrates with hard sputtered coatings, our beam combiners are ideal for multi-laser fluorescence imaging and measurement applications, including laser microscopy and flow cytometry.

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.

PowerPhotonic beam collimator arrays and/or beam shapers are often used in optical systems for beam combining. Our low loss and low scatter fused silica products are capable of very high CW (and pulsed) power handling.
