Holo/OR Large Wafer Manufacturing capability

19 Feb 2018

To keep up with growing demand, and diversifying product requirements, LASER COMPONENTS‘

partner Holo/OR are pleased to announce a number of new developments to their

production facility. As well as general refurbishments to maintain consistent high quality

production, new machines have also been installed. It is now possible to produce diff ractive

optical elements on 150mm diameter wafers. Not only does this allow for producing

DOEs of much larger diameter than previously off ered, but also signifi cantly improves volume

production capacity and allows further cost reduction for large quantities. For example,

a single 150mm diameter wafer may be cut into 69 14x14mm optics.

In addition, Holo/OR have developed a new polymer on glass DOE production capability.

Based on glass-like polymers with relatively high laser damage thresholds and good temperature

stability, these parts off er signifi cant cost savings and shorter lead times than fused

silica in volumes of 100 units or more.
