Laser beam shaping has never been so easy!

Laser beam shaping has never been so easy!

With this unique tools it is possible to convert a Gaussian laser beam into a collimated flattop (or top-hat) beam with nearly 100% efficiency.

No more losing of energy!

pi-Shaper Family - Laser beam shaping has never been so easy!
   

piShaper produces a collimated flat-top beam over a large working distance, see the Operational Principle. This enables the beam to be easily manipulated and re-sized with conventional imaging optics.

Almost the same effective sizes of input and output beams make it easy to integrate piShaper to your application.

Being originally designed as achromatic for two laser wavelength piShaper could be easily tuned to work at other laser wavelengths within wider range.

Solution for COLLIMATED beams
Basic principles of operation:

  • piShaper's are telescopic or collimator optical systems that transform Gaussian intensity distribution of source laser beam to a flattop one;
  • the development technology lets it possible to realize other output intensity profiles, systems with optical power, i.e. of objective or collimator type;
  • Achromatic design provdes this transformation for a certain wavelength range;
  • Galilean design, thus there are no intermediate focusing of a beam;
  • With changing the size of input beam the output beam profile changes as well, see an example here;
  • When changing the shape of input beam it is possible to adapt the piShaper to provide flattop output profile, this adaptation is realized through changing the diameter of source beam; an example of this adaptation is presented here.
