Homogenizing DOE (Diffractive Optical Element) products use diffractive optics and spatial light modulation principles to shape and uniformly distribute laser energy, converting Gaussian beams into flat-top profiles such as square, rectangular, circular, or line shapes. Compared to traditional refractive homogenizers, they offer a compact planar structure, high diffraction efficiency, excellent beam uniformity, and superior energy utilization, with flexible customization in wavelength, beam shape, and output size.
