Our zoom beam expanders (or called as variable beam expander) are highly corrected 4-lens element systems with variable magnification from 1x up to 8x and Galilei-design.

We offer 3 types of beam expanders: fixed beam expanders, zoom beam expanders and motorised beam expanders at various wavelengths of 266nm, 343-355nm, 405nm, 633nm, 515-545nm, 808-980nm, 1030-1090nm, 155nm, 1850-1980nm, 10.6um. Other wavelengths and custom-designed beam expanders are available upon request. For more information, please feel free to contact us.

The specifications of the lenses used in the beam expanders are:

  • Material: BK7 fine annealed, fused silica and ZnSe depending on laser wavelength.

  • Diameter: -0.1mm

  • Thickness: ±0.1mm

  • Flatness: /4

  • Surface Quality: 60-40 scratch-dig

  • Coating: HR dielectric coatings R > 99%

Part number description: BEST-xxx-yy-T-AA
 BEST --- BEST series beam expanders, zoom beam expanders.
 xxxx------- laser wavelength: 10.6 means 10.6um, 532 means 532nm, 633 means 633nm.
 yy -------- expansion ratio (magnification) in times
 T ---------- type: T means adjustable/various/zoom beam expander; none means fixed beam expander.
 AA -------- special purpose.
 Example: BEST-10.6-3: 10.6um fixed beam expander, 3x.
  BEST-10.6-3.5T: 10.6um zoom beam expander, max. 3.5x.

We may use the following abbreviations in the tables: WL=wavelength, MAG=magnification, CA=clear aperture, CA1=input clear aperture, CA2=output clear aperture, D1=input diameter, D2=output diameter, L1=total length of beam expander, M1=connection or mounting thread, D=diameter.

Following is the beam expanders at the wavelengths of 405nm, 633nm, 808-980nm, 1550nm, 1850-1980nm.
