Laser Scanning Lenses Overview

Special Optics high resolution (small spot size) F-Theta Scan lenses achieve ultra-fine resolution laser cutting and etching. Our standard and custom laser scan lenses are developed for the most demanding laser micro-machining customers from around the world. And according to our customers, we routinely deliver the highest resolution, smallest spot sizes, tightest tolerances and lens durability in the optics industry.

Special Optics high precision F-Theta Scan lenses are ideally used in combination with our large output beam expanders for a variety of laser processing and laser micro-machining tasks such as cutting of solar cells, laser marking, laser drilling, and laser scribing.

Standard features include diffraction limited performance, air-spaced design for high damage threshold, anti-reflection coatings on all surfaces.

In addition to the lenses listed on our web site, Special Optics regularly designs custom laser optical systems for a large variety of OEM applications and performance levels. Call us at (973) 366-7289 or email us at sales@specialoptics.com to speak with one of our leading optical designers.
