Beam expander in laser system development is utilized for calibrating various elements. The diameter of the laser beam at the laser system output is adapted to the required diameter at the input of the objective lens. The beam expander is also primarily used in laser-material processes.
Fixed beam expanders are also designed for specific beam expansion applications such as laser engraving. They also feature anti-reflection coatings and high transmissivity to maximize the efficiency of the beam expansion and reduce losses. The disadvantage lies in the fixed magnification factor and applications that require tuning of the output beam size are unable toperform.
