4” to 6” Interferometer Beam Expander to Increase Your Laser Machining Capabilities

Laser beam machining is a useful process for various industries, helping experts alter the surface properties of a specific piece. The capabilities of laser machining offer greater precision and efficient procedures for light manufacturing, electronics, and biomedical industries.

Laser beams can be focused on a small, intense spot to optimize your laser machining capabilities. However, if you want to utilize the laser beam for functions that don’t require such high concentration, an interferometer beam expander can be practical.

What is an interferometer beam expander?

Interferometer beam expanders are viable when the size of the workpiece is larger than the interferometer’s aperture. The optical device amplifies the diameter of a collimated input beam and results in a relatively larger collimated output beam.

Beam expansion is an essential element in several laser systems. High precision and optimal performance rely on using the right tools to gain the desired result.

The latest addition to Tower Optical’s wide range of precision optical products is the BeamEx1000, a 4” to 6” Interferometer Beam Expander. The high-quality, user-friendly device offers effective capabilities for various applications. With an input of 4″ industry standard bayonet mount and output of 6″ industry standard bayonet mount, the BeamEx1000 produces the desired beam divergence and diameter.

Every laser application—from astronomy to biomedical science—requires a unique performance. Knowing the specifications of your applications will help you narrow down on the best beam expander for your needs.

Boost your industry’s capabilities

Laser systems possess varying properties when it comes to wavelength, temporal properties, and optical power output. With such differing characteristics of performance, producing the desired result requires optical devices like beam expanders.

Leveraging the latest technology, this precision optical device improves your laser machining capabilities considerably.

With an input wavelength of 632.8nm, the interferometer beam expander offers a low-cost, premium quality solution to your machining concerns. Selecting the right beam expander will ensure that you maximize your performance, lower costs, and avoid any operational delays.
