Frequently Asked Questions

The benefits of using PowerPhotonic’s freeform micro-optic design and fabrication service include complete flexibility to create freeform refractive optics, within the design rules of the PowerPhotonic laser micro-machining process, freedom to create functions such as homogenizers, diffusers, beam shapers, aberration compensators or generate a completely bespoke solution, and suitability for high peak and average power applications.

The key services offered by PowerPhotonic’s freeform micro-optic design and fabrication service include fabrication of customer-designed optic using PowerPhotonic’s laser micro-machining process, optimization of customer’s design to meet performance and cost targets, and optical design and realization based on customer’s performance requirements.

The target applications of PowerPhotonic’s freeform micro-optic design and fabrication service include diode laser systems, fiber and solid state lasers, laser wavefront correction (phaseplates), homogenizers and diffusers, beam shapers and transformers (flat toppers and circularizers), vortex generators, and imaging systems.

PowerPhotonic’s freeform micro-optic design and fabrication service uses a patent-pending direct write micro-machining process technology that does not require generation of a mask set or mold, resulting in no up-front tooling charges for prototypes.

PowerPhotonic’s freeform micro-optic design and fabrication service is a unique service in the industry that allows customers to create complex optics integrating multiple aspheres and prisms or create any arbitrary freeform refractive surface.
