Beam Transformation Optics

INGENERIC beamPROP

The INGENERIC beamPROP is a lens array which matches the beam parameter product (BPP) of the fast and slow axis of high power diode laser arrays.

The beamPROP is a key component for the

fiber coupling of diode bars
dense wavelength beam combining.

Both applications make high demands on the components, which are met by INGENERIC’s outstanding manufacturing technology, guaranteeing highest levels of efficiency for diode lasers.

Achieve the highest beam quality through the four major features behind the beamPROP:
complete utilization of the aperture by minimized transition zones
minimum aberrations achieved by highest level of precision and uniformity of single lenslets
an exact rotation of the emitter is achieved through the defined center thickness accuracy
minimum pointing errors due to an exact position of front and back surfaces

Quality

We operate a strict quality control policy. Optical elements as well as complete modules are characterized as they move along the production line. By testing the modules in an environment identical to the conditions they will encounter in industrial practice, we ensure that there is no discrepancy between our test results and the results subsequently achieved when our modules are used within their intended application at your site. In conjunction with our sophisticated manufacturing technology, this guarantees the production of beam transformation arrays with unsurpassed coupling characteristics.
