Beam Shaping - Image 2

Beam shaping products are advanced diffractive optical components designed to transform and control laser beam profiles with high precision. These planar optics are typically fabricated using liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layers and optical glass substrates, enabling accurate phase modulation, polarization-dependent operation, and stable optical performance in compact systems.

  • Airy Beam Converter Planar
  • Axicon Lens
  • Laser Mode Converter

The Airy Beam Converter generates Airy beams with unique properties such as self-acceleration, self-healing, and quasi-non-diffracting propagation, making it suitable for optical manipulation and advanced photonics experiments. The Planar Axicon Lens is used to convert Gaussian beams into annular or Bessel beams, providing extended depth of focus and uniform beam distribution for applications in laser processing and microscopy. The Laser Mode Converter transforms fundamental Gaussian modes (TEM₀₀) into higher-order Hermite–Gaussian modes such as TEM₀₁, TEM₁₀, and TEM₁₁, enabling precise mode control for laser research and beam engineering. These beam shaping optics are widely used in microscopy, laser material processing, optical trapping, and scientific research.
