If diffractive optical elements are used at low and medium laser power, it is not always necessary to use expensive fused silica elements because plastic elements may be sufficient.
Holo/OR offers plastic DOEs in different materials: polycarbonate, PMMA, Zeonex, and Zoner. They are produced in large quantities using an injection molding process.
- Elements to Customer Request
Plastic DOEs are advantageous in systems that are mass produced. As most customers will require bespoke optics Holo/OR offers inexpensive tooling and low production costs - see for yourself!
- Adaptation of Existing Designs
Do you already have a DOE design manufactured on a fused silica element? As long as it is physically possible, this design can be adapted to a plastic DOE design.
- Standard Designs
Multi-spot DOEs and homogenisers are currently available as standard elements for the wavelengths 850nm and 532nm.
- Your Own Beam Analysis
For evaluation purposes, Holo/OR uses software developed in house, for this reason, you will be able to obtain a data file for the DOE with the quotation. This file can then be integrated into your own software (Zemax or Lighttrans) for further simulations.
