An optical Diffuser/Homogenizer transforms a single or multi mode input beam into a well-defined output beam, characterized with a desired shape, and homogenized flat-top intensity. This DOE is mainly used for high power laser applications, when uniform exposure is needed, with accurately defined sharp shaped edges, while enabling high efficiency.
Typical applications include:
- Laser homogenizing/shaping
- Laser material processing: perforation, ablation, derailing, marking, scribing and welding
- Medical/aesthetic laser treatments such as tattoo and hair removal
- Beam shaping for Excimer lasers
- Hot spot reducer
