Beam Shaping for High Power and Short Pulse Durations

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

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

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

Join us for a discussion about the many types of beam expanders for laser optics systems. From fixed and variable magnification to ultrafast, there are a variety of different styles of beam expanders with their own sets of design challenges.

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.

Laser optics high reflectivity mirrors meet exceptional specifications that Edmund Optics' competitors often fail to meet. Learn more at Edmund Optics.
