In various industries there is a need to focus a laser beam to a well-defined size and shape with uniform intensity (flat top). A uniform spot enables even laser treatment of the working surface.
The diffractive beam shaper is a phase element that transforms the Gaussian input beam into a uniform spot with sharp edges at a specific working distance WD.
Typical applications include:
- Laser Ablation
- Laser Welding
- Hole Drilling
- Laser Scribing
- Laser Displays
- Filters for cigarettes
- Medical and aesthetic laser applications
