I-VI Incorporated announced the introduction of its freeform beam shaping laser optics for fiber and direct diode laser applications. The rapidly increasing number of applications in laser-based materials processing is driving the demand for laser processing heads with engineered beam geometries that maximize process efficiency and minimize equipment cost and size. II-VI’s industry leading freeform diamond turning capabilities deliver custom high power laser optics with precise surface finish to enable the design of highly differentiated beam shaping optical systems used in advanced laser processing heads. II-VI offers a broad range of freeform beam shaping laser optics including Bessel focus lenses, facetted integrators, vortex lenses, flat top converters, biconic lenses, axicons and dual focus lenses. II-VI also offers debris windows and turnkey capabilities in optical design, fabrication, thin film coatings and metrology. II-VI at SPIE Photonics West, Jan. 30- Feb. 1, 2018, Booth # 1230: II-VI will exhibit at SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco one of the broadest portfolios of merchant products for all laser technology platforms employed in high-power or precision materials processing. From ultraviolet to the far-infrared, II-VI’s market leading laser optics will be on display along with new products for fiber lasers and some of the most advanced laser heads and beam delivery solutions on the market. In the life sciences area, II-VI’s display will consist of spectroscopy optics, flow cells and precision temperature controlled modules to support advances such as in DNA sequencing. II-VI will also show products from epitaxial wafers to semiconductor lasers that will enable exciting new features such as 3D sensing in the next generation of consumer electronics.
