In addition to the right hardware, the right software is also required for optimum control of your beam position. In the BAM software module, not only can the correction of the beam position be activated and monitored, but the beam position can also be adjusted manually. Due to the camera-based mode of operation of the BAM, the software determines numerous other beam parameters in addition to the position of the laser beam on the camera: • Rotation • Ellipticity • FWHM diameter • 1/e² Diameter Application examples Expandability Separate control of different wavelengths and installation of several beam layers per system possible. Beam encapsulation Compatibility with the Pulsar Tube System and connection option for gas or positive pressure flushing guarantee dust-free operation. Modular system Modular system compatible with different application scenarios, also for use on optical table.

Beam Alignment Module The Beam Alignment Module (BAM) from Pulsar Photonics is a modular solution for active beam position stabilization. Effects on the beam position due to e.g. pointing errors and thermal effects of laser sources or fluctuations of the ambient temperature can be measured and actively compensated. Thus, constant process results are possible even under fluctuating conditions. Due to its modular design, the BAM can be flexi bly adapted to different machine types, designs and applications. Furthermore, the connection of a gas or overpressure purge and the use of the Pulsar Tube System can guarantee a high degree of dust-free operation, making the module suita ble for laser sources with high pulse energy and high beam quality.

Dynamic beam shaping system Beam shape on demand The FlexibleBeamShaper (FBS) is a machine integrable beam shaping system for laser micromachining, that can generate any user defined beam distributions. To achieve this, the FBS is equipped with an electronically controllable optical phase modulator. This allows the FBS to be used as a photonic tool magazine with predefined beam shapes on demand. In addition, the FBS is equipped with a SCANLAB galvanometer scanner, so the generated intensity distribution can be scanned over the workpiece. These tools combined in a single system open up new ways in laser  micromaching: faster, more flexible and more efficient. Technical drawing and technical data • Max.

Massive process acceleration through parallel machining The unique combination of a precise galvano metric scanning system and beam splitting in one system allows to multiply laser cutting, drilling or ablation processes without loosing the freedom of geometry of the scanner. Using diffractive opticalelements (DOEs) the incoming laser beam is split up into multiple beams, generating multiple laser spots in the work plane of the scanning system. This way multpile structures can be processed in parallel or, for example, complex cut patterns can be realized while multiplying the production output. The MultiBeamScanner is the solution to significatly reduce production costs in laser micromachining of periodic structures by up to two orders of magnitude.
