F-Theta Scan Lenses for Long-Wave Infrared

Speed up CO2 laser-based materials processing tasks with F-theta scan lenses that enable rapid processing over a large scan field.

These scan lenses deliver small focused spot sizes with minimum distortion over large fields-of-view, thus enabling high-speed operation in marking, engraving, welding, rapid prototyping, PCB via drilling, and converting applications.

F-Theta Scan Lens Features

  • Internally grown and fabricated, low optical absorption ZnSe lenses
  • High uniformity of lens point spread function over the design field of view
  • Standard low-loss AR coatings for emission bands of CO2 isotopologue lasers from 9.2 to 10.6 μm
  • Customized housing designs available on request to enhance integration into existing systems
  • Designs featuring one to six optical elements
  • Protection windows available with exceptionally hard, inert coatings
  • Precision fabrication and assembly of opto-mechanical components
  • For information on the tabulated designs’ galvo system compatibility or to request a custom optical / housing design, please use the Contact a Product Expert feature
