IBS optics for high-power lasers in material processing
Increase in laser fluence requires new coating options
Author: Barbara Herdt, LASER COMPONENTS Germany
Published: LP.PRO 05/2021, WEKA-Verlag
High-power lasers in femtosecond cycles- optics for laser material processing are subject to very different technical requirements. The IBS (ion beam sputtering) process offers manufacturers many options for achieving parameters that cannot be achieved with conventional coating methods, e.g., at high laser fluence.

Product Overview
Beyond Borders
Aspherical lenses correct aberrations, which in monochromatic light include image sharpness errors and distortion.
Additional components for the expansion of a laser system: Here you will find beam expanders, z-axes Shift, and beam tubes.
Laser beam directing components direct or deliver the laser beam to the workpiece.
Brewster plates are used to separate s- and p-polarized light.
Broadband filters allow wide wavelength ranges of incident light to pass through; in selected regions of the spectrum, these filters block the light.
Cavity end mirrors are used to generate the laser beam in the resonator.
ROUND AND RECTANGULAR CYCLINDER LENSES ARE USED TO CREATE LINES / BEAM EXPANSIONS IN ONE DIRECTION.
DIAGNOSTIC BEAM SPLITTERS FOR PROCESS MONITORING
combine or separate two or more beams with different wavelengths.
Dichroic filters are edge filters for color separation used under diagonally incoming light.
The designs of these narrowband filters have been optimized for analytical applications.
Astronomical filters are usually custom-made bandpass filters.
