Laser Beam Combiner

Laser beam combiners allow the outputs of several lasers to be combined into a single beam, even across different wavelengths. This provides broad spectral coverage while maintaining individual control of each laser. At OptiXs, we manufacture these modules to order – we adjust the power, output mode, control method, output type (free space or optical fiber), and physical design according to the selected lasers. Beam combiners are used, for example, in spectroscopy, microscopy, cytometry, and optogenetics.

Custom-made product

In OptiXs we make the beam combiner as a custom-made product, which allows us to incorporate any modifications into its design according to the customer's needs. In addition to the choice of lasers, a whole range of other parameters can be individually adjusted, such as the method of control (communication), the number and type of optical outputs, physical dimensions of the device, etc. Our approach also allows for the adjustment of the optical path of individual lasers (for example, for the purpose of inserting additional functional elements such as filters and modulators). Thanks to the individual approach, we are also able to adapt the design of the beam combiner so that it can be integrated into your existing device.

Flexible control and combination of laser sources

Laser beam combiners are devices that allow the outputs of several lasers to be freely combined into a single beam. These are usually lasers operating at different wavelengths, and the beam combiner is thus able to cover a wide part of the spectrum (typically in the visible range) within a single output. The ability to communicate with individual lasers and control them independently is maintained. Whether the target application requires continuous (CW) or modulated (pulsed) illumination (or a combination of both), the beam combiner allows for flexible selection.

Optical parameters and configuration

The optical parameters of the beam combiner depend primarily on the selected lasers. At OptiXs, we typically use OBIS continuous lasers from Coherent, but alternative solutions are also possible based on individual agreements. In addition to output power and wavelength, other output beam parameters such as spatial mode, polarization, width, and divergence also depend on the selection of lasers and their specific configuration. In addition to the standard "free space" beam, lasers can also be guided at the output into a common optical fiber, which in many applications significantly facilitates the delivery of lasers to their destination.
