  • Field mapper
    Patent number: 10274738
    Abstract: A field mapping optical system and method for converting a light beam having a known spatially coherent first optical field to a second optical field with a required intensity distribution and flat wavefront at a desired distance from the system, by creating an intermediate optical field, between the first and second optical fields, the intermediate optical field being derived from the inverse Fourier transform of the second optical field. The optical system provides a compact and simplified field mapper.
    Type: Grant

  • Process for the manufacture of custom optical elements
    Patent number: 10156840
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of custom freeform optical elements utilising parameterised modelling. A system for the automatic manufacture of a custom optical element is also described with the manufacturing being by laser micro-machining. The process and system allow customers to specify and order via a web interface and so reduce engineering time, overhead and cost.

  • Fast-axis collimator array
    Patent number: 8570657
    Abstract: A micro-optical element for use with an edge-emitting laser diode bar stack, the element comprising a plurality of spaced apart fast-axis collimators formed as a monolithic array, wherein the spacing between the collimators in the fast-axis varies across the micro-optic element. A method of manufacturing a micro-optical element for use with a laser diode bar stack, using a wavelength stabilized CO2 laser is also described.
