Results for tag: "Beam Expander"

Beam expanders are optoelectronic devices used to increase the diameter of a laser beam. They are used in a variety of applications, such as laser cutting, welding, and marking. Beam expanders are typically composed of two lenses, a positive and a negative lens, which are placed in a specific configuration to achieve the desired beam diameter. The lenses are usually mounted in a housing that can be adjusted to change the beam diameter. Beam expanders are used in a variety of industries, including medical, industrial, and military. They are used to increase the power of a laser beam, allowing for more precise and accurate cutting and welding. They are also used to increase the range of a laser beam, allowing for greater accuracy in long-distance applications. Some companies in the beam expander market include Coherent, Newport Corporation, Thorlabs, and Laser Components. Show Less Read more
