Buying Beam Homogenizers
Beam homogenizers are optical devices used to modify a laser beam to achieve a nearly constant optical intensity over a specific area, with negligible intensity outside that area. These devices are essential in applications requiring uniform illumination, such as laser processing and lithography.

Your Custom Optics Expert Shanghai Optics Inc.425 Main St Suite 2E Metuchen, NJ 08840 United States |
Shanghai Optics offers light pipes which can be used as beam homogenizers. They can be straight or bent pipes with a bending angle up to 90°. A five-layer coating ensures light transmission with low losses. |
Enhancing Beam Performance PowerPhotonic Ltd.5A St David's Drive Dalgety Bay Fife KY11 9PF United Kingdom See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 5023)! |
PowerPhotonic manufacture high quality beam homogenisers for single and multimode beams. These refractive homogenisers create a controlled, uniform profile that can withstand very high powers due to the LIDT of the fused silica used in production. Due to PowerPhotonic’s unique manufacturing process, customisation of the shape size and profile of the output beam is easy. Enquire now for more information on the different beam homogenisation options available. |

Focuslight Technologies offers beam homogenizers that can handle a wide range of field geometries and beam shapes – top hat, rectangular, square and lines – and are suitable for many different laser sources (e.g., excimer laser, solid-state laser, diode laser). Features:
They are manufactured from high-quality materials, e.g., fused silica or CaF2. Customized freeform surfaces with highest precision on different wafer sizes (up to 300 mm) are also available. |
The Future Depends on Optics Edmund Optics101 East Gloucester Pike Barrington, NJ 08007 United States See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 1139)! |
Edmund Optics offers the world’s largest inventory of off-the-shelf optical components. The majority of Edmund Optics’ light pipes are hexagonal in shape, which leads to 35% less light loss than for comparable square light pipes. Fused silica light pipe homogenizing rods are ideal for applications utilizing UV LED light sources. Tapered light pipe homogenizing rods offer several magnification options, including 2× or 3×. Edmund Optics offers light pipe mounts for either tapered or hexagonal light pipes, designed to offer easy system integration solutions, or to ease handling. |
Bringing quality into focus Knight Optical (USA) LLC1130 Ten Rod Road Suite D102 North Kingstown Rhode Island 02852 United States |
Knight Optical offers hexagonal homogenising light pipes which provide uniform illumination from non-uniform polychromatic light sources through the process of total internal reflection. Manufactured from fused silica, these light pipes achieve an approximate 35-40% increase in the output of light. Custom beam homogenisers are available including tapered light pipes. |
Light with high power and luminance for industry and research lightsource.tech – a brand of Technologie ManufakturHannah-Vogt-Str. 1 37085 Göttingen Germany |
The beam homogenizer from lightsource.tech works in the wavelength range for 350 nm to 2000 m, or 200 nm to 2000 nm with quartz glass optics. It offers extremely high homogeneity with a deviation of only ±2% and at the same time a transmission of more than 50% of the coupled light. This is made possible by a flyeye condenser, which is equipped with two microlens arrays with 400 lens elements each. |
IRD Glass 810 E St Paul St. Litchfield, MN 55355 United States See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 3203)! |
IRD specializes in high-precision light homogenizers and light pipes. IRD manufactures traditional square and round homogenizers, as well as more exotic rectangular, hexagonal, and octagonal homogenizers, including straight and tapered designs. Their designs are optimized based upon your specific needs and requirements; typical materials include, but are not limited to, fused silica, nBK7, and sapphire. |
