Variable Beam Expanders

Product Overview

Zoom-type beam expanders that continuously scale laser beam diameter from 1× to 4× while maintaining beam quality and alignment stability. Available for UV 355 nm, Green 532 nm, and NIR 1064 nm. Designed for precision laser processing and metrology where repeatable spot-size control is critical.

  • Continuous variable magnification (1×–4×) zoom design
  • High transmission >97% at design wavelengths
  • Broad spectral coverage: UV, Green, NIR

Applications

  • Semiconductor wafer processing and inspection
  • Precision laser material processing (marking, drilling, cutting)
  • Advanced research & development laser systems

Key Specifications

  • Design wavelengths: 355 nm / 515-542 nm / 1030-1090 nm
  • Materials: Optical glass, Fused Silica
  • Magnification: 1×–4× (continuous). Max input beam Ø: 4.0 mm
  • Beam pointing stability ≤0.5 mrad; residual tilt <1 mrad (tight alignment control)
  • Lens diameter: 52 mm (compact module)
  • Optics: Aspheric elements + AR coatings minimize reflection loss; robust for high-power lasers.

Options & Customization

  • Custom AR coatings optimized for UV, Green, and NIR
  • Mechanical interface options: threaded, flanged, or fixed mounts
  • Environmental qualification on request (temperature, humidity, vibration, LIDT compliance)
