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.

Interactive Purchase Decision Tool

Purchasing high-value photonics products is a substantial responsibility. Using a structured decision-making process and high quality supplier data helps a lot:

Go through the process:

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you purchase.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying beam homogenizers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for beam homogenizers. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

4. Document the decision process

It is essential to document your purchasing process, not only its result (chosen supplier):

  • You will find it easier next time.
  • If something goes wrong, you can defend your decision by showing that you properly considered all important aspects. Or you see what needs to be done better next time.

Our interactive tool makes it easy: Fill out the form, and in the end print it to a PDF. Note that the document will show all sections (including those not currently shown on the screen), while omitting some irrelevant details such as the page navigation.

beam homogenizers

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.

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.
