FAQs about custom optics
Here you will learn why optics are crucial in laser material processing and how we can support you in this area.
What are optics in laser technology?
Optics are key components that guide and shape the laser beam from the system to the workpiece. These include processing optics, scanner and fixed optics, as well as diffractive elements or homogenizers. They significantly determine process quality – from energy distribution to processing speed.
What is beam shaping?
Beam shaping refers to the adaptation of the laser beam to the respective manufacturing process. For example, a Gaussian profile can be transformed into a homogeneous rectangular profile.
What are the advantages of beam shaping?
Beam shaping can make the energy input more uniform, increase the area processed simultaneously, or positively influence process dynamics in the form of spatter formation. Furthermore, materials that are difficult to weld can also be processed more effectively using beam shaping.
What types of optics does the Bavarian Laser Center Erlangen develop?
We develop optics where the input beam must be adapted to specific requirements. Examples include homogenizers and endoscopes for medical technology.
