HAAS Technologies, Inc. offers compact solutions to simply rotate the polarization direction of a laser beam in laser material processing. The POL-15, which can simply be attached to other units, is new. A retardation plate, for example, is inserted into the plug-in holder and can then be rotated by hand. In combination with the G1 laser head unit, circularly polarized light can be selected which leads to particularly good cutting results in laser material processing.
Of course, other optics can be inserted into the POL-15 as well – a cylindrical lens, for example, which will shape a round laser beam into a line.
