MiniLase products typically utilize our microlens technology to gain distinct performance advantages over traditional LD based modules. Starting from a regular laser diode with elliptical beam, the microlens technology creates a virtual point source (VPS) with a gaussian-circular beam divergence. A high-quality doublet or aspherical lens is then used to collimate or focus the beam, which maintains diffraction-limited quality. A good Gaussian profile (M2 < 1.3) and low wavefront aberrations enable the beam from the MiniLase to be collimated better or be focused into a smaller, more well-defined point. In addition the beam waist depth of focus is increased, minimizing systematic optical tolerances and enabling superior optical performance.
