Beam Expanders for laser material processing

The option of well directed beam expansion by the LINOS Beam Expander extends the spectrum of sophisticated laser material processing. It can vary the diameter of the laser beam thus adapting the focus spot to the demands of the overall system.

At the same time, it is possible to minimize undesirable effects by other optical components. The Beam Expander allows for fine focussing, a reduction in beam divergence and a minimization of diffraction.

The LINOS Beam Expander can be used for sophisticated processing tasks – ideally in combination with the LINOS F-Theta lenses:

• Laser structuring of foils

• Laser scribing of ceramic substrates

• Cutting of solar cells

• Micro drilling of metal sheet

• Marking of diverse materials with encodings
