Buying Beam Homogenizers

Top-level product category: optical components and devices

Related product categories: diffusers, light pipes

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.

beam homogenizers

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.

beam homogenizers

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:

  • extraordinary homogeneity (up to 1% non-uniformity)
  • high NA
  • high fill factor
  • retention of polarization
  • optical efficiency up to 90%
  • low cost

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.

beam homogenizers

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.
