Diffractive Optics
HOLOEYE - Standard Diffractive Optical Elements
HOLOEYE Photonics AG specializes in the development and supply of Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs), which serve as critical components in laser systems and optical setups. These elements are engineered using advanced methods in polymer replication and glass etching. The standard polymer DOEs are crafted from polycarbonate or polymethyl methacrylate and possess a typical diameter of 8 mm, designed to fit seamlessly into standard laser modules. Meanwhile, the standard glass DOEs are composed of etched fused silica or arylate-on-soda-lime glass, providing enhanced precision and sustainability in optical applications. This broad range of DOEs, including both polymer and glass types, caters to various optical needs, from simple beam splitting to complex multi-pattern generation. HOLOEYE also offers customization options to tailor these components to specific application requirements, backed by an efficient non-recurring engineering budget.
