Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

Edmund Optics offers both fixed power and zoom beam expanders. Knowing which beam expander is right for your application can greatly improve system efficiency.

Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors are used to test the transmitted wavefront error of laser beam expanders, predicting the real-world performance of the beam expander.

Are standard beam expanders not meeting your application requirements? Learn how to design your own beam expander using stock optics at Edmund Optics.

Sliding focusing mechanisms for laser beam expanders cause less beam wander than rotating focusing mechanisms, but they use more complex mechanics and are typically more expensive.

Beam Conditioning Optics for UV, IR, and Broadband Lasers

Learn the key parameters that must be considered to ensure you laser application is successful. Common terminology will be established for these parameters.

This 2-part webinar series explores different techniques for laser beam shaping and how they can improve the performance of your laser application.
