INGENERIC Optical Systems

The Collimation Module (C-Module) is a highly efficient means of reducing the divergence of diode lasers in the fast- and slow-axis simultaneously. The module consists of two micro-optics, fixed and aligned in one single module with high precision. Alongside its optimum collimation characteristics the module guarantees a simple and cost efficient assembly of diode lasers. The compact C-Module thus guarantees highest brightness of diode lasers in combination with minimum size. Please refer to our broad product spectrum of fast-axis and slow-axis collimators to combine your C-Module for your specific application. Advantages: efficient collimation optimized for highest brightness compact module easy to mount transmission up to 99% highest level of precision and uniformity long term stability optimized design

The INGENERIC beamPROP is a lens array which matches the beam parameter product (BPP) of the fast and slow axis of high power diode laser arrays. The beamPROP is a key component for the 1. fiber coupling of diode bars 2. dense wavelength beam combining. Both applications make high demands on the components, which are met by INGENERIC’s outstanding manufacturing technology, guaranteeing highest levels of efficiency for diode lasers. Achieve the highest beam quality through the four major features behind the beamPROP: - complete utilization of the aperture by minimized transition zones - minimum aberrations achieved by highest level of precision and uniformity of single lenslets - an exact rotation of the emitter is achieved through the defined center thickness accuracy - minimum pointing errors due to an exact position of front and back surfaces

The Slow-Axis Collimation optic is a highly efficient means of forming the beam in the slow-axis of diode lasers. It is available either as a monolithic array of cylindrical lenses or as a single lens. All of our optics are produced using high-quality optical glass. The exacting product tolerances guarantee efficient collimation of the light from all emitters and compatibility with laser bars and stacks In order to offer the best solution for your application INGENERIC provides a broad spectrum of Slow-Axis Collimation optics off the shelf. With respect to length or support structures the lenses can be tailored to your specific needs.

The most important optical component in the beam shaping systems in high-power diode lasers is the Fast-Axis Collimation optic. The lenses are manufactured from high-quality glass and have an acylindrical surface. Their high numerical aperture permits the entire diode output to be collimated with outstanding beam quality. The high transmission and excellent collimation characteristics guarantee the highest levels of beam shaping efficiency for diode lasers. By means of an FAI lens, the emitter can be directly imaged into a fiber or a target plane. The design of INGENERIC’s FAI lenses is optimized for this specific application and allows an efficient and aberration-free imaging of the emitter. In order to offer the best solution for your application INGENERIC provides a broad spectrum of Fast-Axis Collimation optics from the shelf. Years of development allow us to provide optimized acylindrical lenses for different applications.
