Offering Description
LightForge™ Rapid Flat Top is a single refractive optic designed to convert a Gaussian single-mode beam into a flat-top profile at the focus of a downstream lens. Fabricated from UV-grade fused silica, it supports input beam diameters of 1.5–6.5 mm and offers stable, uniform output shapes. Fixed design rules ensure predictable performance and fast turnaround. Optional AR coatings are available for industrial wavelengths (515–535 nm, 1030–1070 nm).
Target applications
- Beam shaping & homogenization
- Laser material processing
- Imaging and illumination
