PowerPhotonic will be showcasing its new beam shaper technology for high-power laser applications at SPIE Photonics West 2014 on 1-6 February at the Moscone Center (North hall, booth 5319C) in San Francisco, California (US).
The beam shaper optics integrate a number of customer benefits, giving a choice of beam profile with a single thin optical element, which copes with high peak power and is ultra-efficient while being insensitive to the input beam’s characteristics. PowerPhotonic will also present a Photonics West conference paper on its new beam shapers at "Session 3: Beam Guiding, Shaping, and Analysis for High-Power Applications."
In addition, PowerPhotonic will showcase its new LightForge low-cost rapid fabrication service for micro-optics and present another paper at the conference. In "Session 7: Laser Processing of Novel Structures and Complex Shapes," the company reports on how the LightForge process can be used to realise a complex custom optic using data generated directly from a design in Zemax (from Radiant Zemax). This surface is then extracted from Zemax and fabricated using the LightForge service before being measured. A quantitative analysis of the real optic is carried out both numerically and with the design source in Zemax and PowerPhotonic presents a comparison between design and fabricated part performance.
In addition to the LightForge fabrication service and the new beam shaper optics, the PowerPhotonic team will be on-hand to discuss the company’s complete range of micro-optics.
