Electronic Components & Devices

Beam Expander includes diffraction limited optical designs.

Featuring large output clear apertures of 10-100 mm, expansion ratios from 5x to 40x, and input apertures of 1.3-20 mm, laser beam expanders provide adjustable focus for collimation at varying wavelengths, which can be used for divergence correction, collimation, and focusing. With damage thresholds of 500 MW/cm-² typical, they can be specified at single and dual wavelengths from 248-1,550 nm....
