Lens-Array Homogenizers SLB-PBMLA25S-532-F5
Lens-array homogenizers provide non-collimated homogenization of multimode laser beams into different shapes, for applications such as beam homogenization in medical aesthetics and background-illumination homogenization in machine vision. Our range includes flat microlens arrays and flat cylindrical-lens arrays. A flat microlens array is a flat optical element that uses liquid-crystal-polymer diffractive optics for laser homogenization and beam shaping. It comprises a polymer film and a single N-BK7 window, with an arrayed phase distribution in the film producing the microlens-array function. Output-beam form depends on microlens-unit parameters. Adjusting their phase period and profile flexibly controls output divergence and spot shape for homogenization and shaping into varied shapes and sizes. The device is polarization dependent: right- or left-handed circular input makes light diverge or converge after each lenslet. The divergence or convergence angle follows sinθ=λ/p, where λ is design wavelength and p is the radial phase period of a lenslet. The single-wavelength design has no spherical aberration, and the antireflection-coated input surface gives high transmission and diffraction efficiency. Applications include wavefront sensing, light concentration and beam shaping, with strong potential in optical information processing, optical interconnects, optical computing, image scanners, light-field cameras, medical instruments, 3D imaging and displays. A flat cylindrical-lens array similarly uses liquid-crystal-polymer diffractive optics for one-dimensional beam shaping and homogenization. A polymer film between two N-BK7 windows has a one-dimensional phase array providing cylindrical-lens-array functionality. Modulation depends on incident polarization and cylindrical-lens-unit parameters. Left-handed circular input produces right-handed circular output that first converges and then diverges; right-handed circular input produces diverging left-handed circular output. The divergence or convergence angle follows sinθ=λ/p, where λ is design wavelength and p is the cylindrical-lens-unit phase period. Adjusting this period flexibly controls output divergence for different one-dimensional shaping and homogenization requirements. This is also a single-wavelength design free of spherical aberration with an antireflection-coated input surface for high transmission and diffraction efficiency. It has strong potential for imaging, machine vision and semiconductor laser collimation. Standard microlens arrays have size Ø25.4 mm, lenslet focal lengths of 5 mm or 50 mm, square output beams and operating wavelengths of 532 nm, 633 nm, 850 nm, 915 nm and 976 nm. Custom options include special sizes, operating wavelength, beam divergence and beam profile. Output spot nonuniformity is the RMS energy error over the region above 90% of the normalized spot-energy distribution. Diffraction efficiency is the energy in the region above 90% of the normalized spot-energy distribution divided by all output optical energy.
