Beam Shaper

SCHOTT North America (Elmsford, NY) offers the Beam Shaper laser technology, capable of shaping “square” light from an individual laser diode or rows of strings of laser diodes into a beam of light that has a round profile and offers homogeneous light dissemination. Two versions are available: for individual laser diodes with outputs up to 1 W, the shaper is cylindrical; for bars consisting of dozens of laser diodes with a total output of tens of watts, the unit is equipped with a paddle-shaped end that matches the geometry of the diode bar. Both versions provide an output of 90%. Wavelengths range from 400 to 1,700 nm.
