New Products

 

M2 transformation modules Inspired by our  costumers' demand, Holo/Or has launched the M2 transformation module of the lean-line system as a stand-alone product for 355nm and 532nm wavelengths.

Many flat-panel applications, such as laser lift-off and laser annealing, require high power densities along a narrow line. This requires transforming a multi-mode beam into an almost single mode beam in the line's narrow axis. That is what our M2 module does for your application, at a competitive cost and with excellent performance. Our module can be easily integrated into existing laser setups, as it is an on-axis module with high alignment tolerances. Holo/Or's unique approach enables our module to accept both circular and elliptical inputs, the module is easily tuned by hand and has excellent thermal lensing stability.   Contact us for more details.

 

Diffractive collimator arrays Based on the unmatched accuracy of our lithographic production, we offer both 1D and 2D diffractive lens arrays.

 

Ideal for coherent beam combining systems, both as couplers and as collimators, our product features stable lens-to-lens performance that is unmatched by any standard refractive lens array. Our lenses have negligible angular tolerances (<10-5 mrad), and high efficiencies (>90%) making the construction of stable coherent beam combining setups easier than ever. Lens spacing and dimensions can be easily customized to accommodate any specific configuration you want to develop. Contact us for more details.

 

Applications

 

Glass Cutting with Diffractive Axicons Many of our customers are trying to tackle the challenging field of precision glass cutting, a rapidly growing application field in many industries. Our growing family of high efficiency fused silica Diffractive Axicons is providing unmatched Bessel beam accuracy with no apex "dead zone" and high Laser Damage Threshold.   Did You Know- The best focusing performance for glass cutting is achieved when the focusing objective has diffraction-limited performance. Our Glass Cutting module guarantees this performance, providing much tighter spots and higher power densities, at a high NA.

 

Vortex phase plates enhance ablation rates on stainless steel Recently, our partners Edge-Wave GmbH have presented better than 15% improvement of ablation rate for stainless steel laser processing by using our vortex lenses to shape the spot.

 

The presentation was organized by LC Germany GmbH and held at LASYS 2018, in Stuttgart. For more details please contact us.
