HOLO/OR, a SCANLAB sister company, offers a vast range of standard diffractive optical elements that are grouped into beam shaping (e.g. Top-Hat, M-Shaper, Ring Generator, Line generator, Homogeniser), beam splitting (e.g. Multi-Spot 1 x N or M x N matrix) and focal shaping types. Custom designs can also be tailor-made on request according to the specifications and needs of the particular application.

To open up your webcam or camera, select the Start button, then select All apps, and then select Camera in the list of apps. If you have multiple cameras, you can switch between them by selecting Change Camera at the top right once the Camera app is opened.

For example, Multi-Spot DOEs enable parallel processing with a single scan head for increased throughput and full utilisation of the laser power, while Top-Hat beam shaping DOEs increase process quality by providing a constant irradiance over the focal spot.

Harnessing over 30 years' experience in galvanometer-based laser scanning and diffractive optics, SCANLAB and HOLO/OR offer a solution combining the scan head, F-Theta lens and DOE, while also considering the laser source, to ensure that the desired results are achieved across the image field in practice.

A DOE is a phase element that modifies an input laser beam into various output profiles and shapes, using thin micro-structures embedded within an optical element.
