AILU High-Power Laser Applications Workshop

Burbach, Germany

July 2, 2026

The Association of Laser Users (AILU) is organizing the workshop in collaboration with IPG Photonics GmbH & Co. KG in Burbach, Germany.

As an excellent network opportunity the event brings together engineers, manufacturers, researchers, and technology providers from a wide range of industries. You will gain practical insights into the capabilities of modern fiber laser systems, beam delivery solutions, and strategies for process optimization.

The workshop is open to both AILU members and non-members, whether you are exploring fiber laser technology for the first time, looking to expand existing production capacities, or simply want to stay up to date on the latest industry developments.

Dr.-Ing. Hansjörg Rohde, product manager at LASER COMPONENTS Germany, will give a talk about LIDT and absorption as drivers for high-power optics.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Burbach!

Product Overview

Beyond Borders

Aspherical lens for correcting spherical aberrations

Aspherical lenses correct aberrations, which in monochromatic light include image sharpness errors and distortion.

A typical application of these lenses is the focusing of a collimated beam onto an optical fiber.

The BWA-MON beam analysis system allows for real time monitoring of all beam parameters in high-performance lasers.

Brewster Plate Polarizer for Laser Optics

Brewster plates are used to separate s- and p-polarized light.

Brewster plates have a rectangular shape and are inserted at a specific angle of incidence to the laser beam. Light that is polarized parallel to the plane of incidence/reflection is completely transmitted at Brewster’s angle, whereas about 50 % of s-polarized light is transmitted.

Alignment-free wavefront sensor from 350-1100 nm.

This Wavefront Sensor provides precise, real-time measurements across a broad spectral range. Ideal for high-accuracy applications like microscopy, optics, and laser systems.

Cavity end mirrors are used to generate the laser beam in the resonator.

Resonator end mirrors, also known as cavity mirrors, are designed to have high reflectivity at the desired laser wavelength in order to maximize the efficiency of the laser.

Wavefront sensor for laser and optical systems

Entry-level sensor with high accuracy.

HASO4 First is a cost-effective, high-precision wavefront sensor for a wide range of wavelengths (350 – 1100 nm), ideal for microscopy, metrology, or high-power laser optimisation.

ROUND AND RECTANGULAR CYCLINDER LENSES ARE USED TO CREATE LINES / BEAM EXPANSIONS IN ONE DIRECTION.

We offer plano-concave and plano-convex cyclindrical lenses in rectangular, square, and round form.

Diagnostic Beam Splitter for Laser Beam Splitting

DIAGNOSTIC BEAM SPLITTERS FOR PROCESS MONITORING

Dichroic mirrors separate or combine two or more beams of different wavelengths in the desired ratio and enable process monitoring on the operating level in several wavelength ranges, as well as beam diagnostics. Their complex design enables multiple transmission and reflection ranges.
