What we do

PowerPhotonic is a pioneer, solving challenges using freeform wafer scale optics

We support engineers building advanced laser systems to push the boundaries of performance using wafer-scale freeform optics. Using two decades of design expertise, combined with proprietary manufacturing technology that enables rapid development, we help you benefit from freeform optics solutions faster.

Standard Products

Browse our range of standard beam shapers, diffusers, homogenizers, array collimators and combiner optics.

Unique Design Experise

If one of our standard products does not meet your requirements, we routinely design and manufacture bespoke solutions that are optimized for system level performance enhancement.

Rapid Prototyping

Lightforge is our trademark rapid protoyping service. If you have a design that conforms to the Lightforge process for an uncoated optic, it can be supplied in weeks.

Assemblies

Let PowerPhotonic remove much of the burden of integrating our wafer scale freeform optics into your optical system. We supply mounted and pre-aligned optical sub-assemblies.

Our Featured Product

PowerPhotonic Tailshaper

Demand for use of laser beam welding in the manufacture of EV batteries and fuel cells is increasing, with growth in demand expected.

PowerPhotonic’s freeform Tailshaper optic allows EV battery laser welding source parameters to be optimised by beam shaping. This process adjusts the intensity and shape of the laser profile, improving stability and controlling the welding melt-pool thermal characteristics at the weld spot and pre and post the weld. Weld strength, machine and system performance, efficiency and yield are all improved. Spatter reduction improves the safety of the EV batteries and fuel cell weld process, reducing the risk of igniting the Lithium-ion, battery cell materials, which are highly combustible.
