Complex sensor systems are at the heart of laser material processing in Industry 4.0. They control and monitor digitised processes. This also means new challenges for the optical components. It is not uncommon for a single optical system to have to direct the wavelengths for three or more detectors.
The solution is polychromatic beam splitters from LASER COMPONENTS. We have developed mirrors that transmit the signal for cameras in the infrared range (1300-1900 nm) and in the visible range (400-700 nm). Additional wavelengths can also be accommodated, e.g. for a pilot laser (650 nm) or an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for depth measurement (950 nm). At the same time, the coatings are robust enough to permanently withstand a high-power laser for material processing (1030-1080 nm).
