Focus-shaping DOEs modulate beam-energy distribution in the z direction, providing either extended depth of focus or multiple foci. They are commonly used in laser cutting to obtain flatter cut surfaces and better cutting quality. We offer both types. The extended-depth-of-focus DOE is a flat axicon (PB Axicon, PBA) made from N-BK7 glass substrates and liquid crystal polymer (LCP), with a sandwich structure of front and back glass substrates and an intermediate LCP functional film. In the LCP layer, the liquid-crystal fast-axis orientation changes with constant period along the substrate radius. The whole device plane has the same λ/2 retardance, making it a single-wavelength device. The flat axicon has polarization-dependent optical properties and produces annular convergence or divergence depending on incident polarization. With left-handed circularly polarized input, it also generates Bessel beams with nondiffracting and self-reconstructing properties. Unlike traditional axicons, its flat structure has no physical conical tip and is easier to integrate. Its tip structure depends on liquid-crystal orientation changes, allowing micrometer-level fabrication precision. It also has large dispersion. Multi Focal (MF) DOEs likewise use N-BK7 glass and liquid crystal polymer. Two 1-inch glass substrates sandwich a single LCP layer carrying the designed phase, making a single-wavelength device. A multifocal DOE focuses incident light axially into a fixed number of equally spaced, equal-energy foci. Diffraction-based phase design and photoalignment form the phase structure in the LCP film, modulating incident phase and distributing light among diffraction orders. A focusing lens then focuses each order to form multiple foci. Multifocal DOEs are generally used with objectives to provide multiple foci in typical applications. They are mainly used for deep laser cutting of transparent glass, sapphire and similar materials. Compared with conventional laser cutting, multiple uniformly arranged axial foci enable deep cutting with flatter cut surfaces. Standard 1-inch flat axicons are available at 532nm, 633nm and 1064nm, with deflection half-angles of 0.5 °, 1 °, 2.0 °, 2.3 ° and 4.7 °. Standard multifocal DOEs operate at 1064 nm with 3 or 5 foci. Flexible specification customization is also available for different applications. Parameter definitions: Deflection angle is half the convergence or divergence angle of the output beam for collimated input. Focal-energy uniformity for multifocal shaping is defined as (1-range/sum of extremes)×100 %. Zero-order fraction is the zero-order spot energy produced by extended-depth-of-focus shaping divided by all output optical energy.
