The Refractive Beam Shaper converts a Gaussian laser beam into a collimated flat top beam with nearly 100% efficiency. This exciting capability, enabled by high precision aspheric optics, results in simple-to-use, rugged, and efficient beam shaping that can be readily integrated into your application.

Refractive beam shapers produce a collimated flat top beam by point-to-point mapping of the Gaussian input rays to redistribute the intensity to a flat top output. Using low dispersion refractive optics, our beam shapers provide a 20-50% throughput improvement over diffractive solutions. As the design does not include an internal focus, it may be used with high power and ultrafast systems. The collimated output beam can be manipulated further by the user using conventional optics to expand or reduce the beam as desired. In order to achieve optimum performance, the input beam will need to be spatially filtered and expanded to match the specified input diameter.

The GBS-UV-H Beam Shaper is constructed of Ultraviolet safe components and processed in our Class 5 clean room to minimize out gassing and particulate generation. The aluminum housing is electroless Ni coated and every component is ultrasonically cleaned prior to assembly. The GBS-UV-H is double-bagged in the Class 5 environment to assure the highest level of cleanliness. A protective carrying case is included for safe storage when not in use.
