Know About us
We enhance laser processes and optical systems
Our high quality, wafer-scale, freeform optics offer the potential for significant performance gains in laser applications and optical systems: be those efficiency, precision or consistency. We produce some of the smoothest, lowest scatter truly freeform optical surfaces in the world.
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.
