Complex sensor systems are at the heart of laser material processing in Industry 4.0; they control and monitor digitized processes. This also means new challenges for the optical components. It is not uncommon for a single optical system to have to direct the wavelengths to three or more detectors.
The solution is polychromatic beam splitters from LASER COMPONENTS: We have developed mirrors that not only transmit the signal for cameras in the infrared range (1300-1900 nm) and in the visible range (400-700 nm). Additional wavelengths can also be accommodated: for example, for a pilot laser (650 nm) or an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for depth measurement (950 nm). At the same time, the coatings are robust enough to permanently withstand a high-power laser for material processing (1030-1080 nm).
Which parameters do you need to monitor? Send us your requirements and we will develop the right coating design for your needs – no matter how complex they may be.
