Laser processing
The challenge
Laser material processing demands strict performance from system optics, including high-power compatibility, precise beam control, long lifetime, compact design, and fast imaging with autofocus functionality. Conventional solutions based on galvo scanners and mechanical optics often fall short in one or more of these areas, compromising either performance or cost.
Our solution
The FMR-20 mirror, with a 20×20 mm clear aperture and only a few millimeters of thickness, is ideal for sub-degree 2D beam wobbling in compact and handheld kW laser welders. Laser markers and cleaners, which typically require several-degree beam deflection, can benefit from the MR-15-30 2D mirror with closed-loop control. The EL-12-30 and EL-16-40 provide durable alternatives to mechanical optics for in-line monitoring of laser processing targets, offering millisecond-speed autofocus imaging and micron-accurate distance measurement in OCT optical paths.

Front Lens Configuration
Liquid lenses can also be mounted directly in front of standard lenses, offering a compact solution. With S-mount lenses, horizontal fields of view up to 56° are possible, while C-mount systems typically work best with fields of view up to 30°. In both cases, the liquid lens can often be integrated using existing mounts, keeping the overall system design simple and compact.
Back Lens Configuration
When integrated close to the aperture stop, Optotune’s liquid lenses achieve optimal performance with large image circles, low f-numbers, and excellent resolution. To make this integration seamless, we collaborate with leading optics manufacturers worldwide to deliver a growing number of optimized designs.
