Axicons, prisms and integrators: searching for simple laser beam shaping solutions
Todd Lizotte
Abstract:Over the last thirty five years there have been many papers presented at numerous conferences and published within a host of optical journals. What is presented in many cases is either too exotic or technically challenging in practical application terms and it could be said both are testaments to the imagination of engineers and researchers.For many brute force laser processing applications such as paint stripping, large area ablation or general skiving of flex circuits, the opportunity to use a beam shaper th… Show more
