  • Laser beam product parameter adjustments
    Patent number: 10935720
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for modifying a beam parameter product of a laser beam. The modified beam parameter product may increase the number of tasks that may be performed using a given laser with its original beam parameter product. By increasing the beam parameter product of a laser, an initial low beam parameter product beam may be used to perform tasks requiring a higher beam parameter product. The beam may be modified to redirect portions of the beam at different angles via one or more non-imaging refracting optical components or by one or more Fiber Bragg gratings.
    Type: Grant
