Beam expanders for different wav
Beam expanders serve two primary purposes: increasing the power
density in the focal point by increasing the beam diameter before the focussing lens, and
reducing the beam divergence through beam expansion which is useful for beam guidance
over long distances prior to focussing. LASER COMPONENTS offers a wide range of beam
expanders for YAG and CO2 systems as well as other wavelengths.
Our beam expanders optimised for 1064nm feature an adjustment screw to vary the distance
between the lenses and compensate for the divergence of the incident beam. They
are available as standard with a fi xed magnifi cation between 2x and 10x. Much like the
1064nm beam expanders, our standard systems for 532nm and 355nm feature adjustment,
and are available with fi xed magnifi cation of up to 18x and 20x respectively. The standard
range is completed with 2x-8x variable zoom beam expanders for 1064nm, 800nm, 532nm
and 355nm.
LASER COMPONENTS now also off er custom motorised zoom beam expanders for integration
into most commercially available laser systems.
