Enabling Higher Laser Energy Output with Design Optimization
Key Takeaway
Holographix works closely with OEM customers on design optimization to enable performance.
This customer needed a higher diffraction efficiency pulse compression grating to reduce energy absorption, improve beam shape uniformity, and delivery higher energy output.
Holographix worked collaboratively with the customer engineering team to understand the application needs and parameters. The target performance was within 4% of theoretical maximum. Holographix utilized an overall grating model to identify opportunities to improve diffraction efficiency among materials, processing, and surface interactions.
An update to grating processing enabled Holographix to reliably achieve 99% of theoretical performance consistently, and economically achieving the customer objectives.
