Diffractive Line Generators

Single transverse mode lasers such as many solid-state lasers, diode lasers, gas lasers and frequency doubled or tripled lasers have a Gaussian beam profile and cannot easily be used for homogeneous illumination applications.

Diffractive Line Generator Optics from Jenoptik transform a Gaussian laser beam into a homogeneous top-hat line profile by a single, flat element without any further optics.

This method offers increased efficiency for many materials processing applications such as annealing or re-crystallization of semiconductors and thin layers.

Features

• Good uniformity
• High efficiency
• UV to NIR wavelengths available
• High damage threshold
• Single optical element
• Integration of lens function possible
