Flat-topbeam

Smooth shaper laser spots enable uniform processing of a target, with good sidewalls in ablation, less sensitivity to laser fluctuations and better overlapping of processed areas.

Beam shaping diffusers overlay copies of the input beam precisely on each other within a given angular shape, creating a smooth shape.

Beam shaping diffusers overlay copies of the input beam precisely on each other within a given angular shape, creating a smooth shape.

A smooth shape laser beam is a laser beam or spot that has uniform intensity over the profile, with no strong modulation over process-relevant length scales.

Gaussianbeam

Analytical beam shapers such as Top Hat beam shapers can shape a gaussian input beam into a smooth flat-top intensity distribution.

Laguerre Gaussbeam

Laser processes are often used in precise production and require uniform smooth intensity profiles. In this article we review the methods for generating smooth shape laser beams and the advantage in doing so with diffractive diffusers .
