Innovative Laser Beam Shapers & Splitters by Midel Photonics
We manufacture laser beam shapers and splitters for your needs. All our products are based on High-Power-Laser-Mirrors with an all-reflective Design made for NextGen Laser Manufacturing – High-Power, High Energy, Shorter Wavelengths, and tailor-made beam shapes.
» All our beam shapers & splitters utilize the power of Diffractive Optics to efficiently redistribute laser light into the new shape «
Just replace an existing beam steering mirror with our products and you are good to go – We include your angle-of-incidence and beam diameter in the design of the product.
Next-Level Laser Applications
Use our beam shapers & splitters to increase precision, reduce defects and speed up you processes.
Tailored to Your Needs
No compromises, no waiting & simple integration! Made for your laser system and quickly delivered.
State-of-the-art Quality
All our beam shapers & splitters utilize the power of Diffractive Optics to efficiently redistribute laser light into the new shape
Our PORTFOLIO
Beam Shapers
Control your beam shape at the workpiece in x and y direction. Possible shapes include flat tops (square & round), axicons, donuts, ring-spot-combinations and more.
Examples:
Beam Splitters
Use a single laser for parallel processing! Various patterns possible (1D/2D).
State-of-the-art efficiency & uniformity.
Examples:
„“
Shaping along z-Axis
You need to elongate your focal region? We include it in our product!
Example: z-Shaper
Combined Shaping & Splitting
Multiple shaped beams? We combine both in one product!
Example: 1×2 Flat Top Shaper
Compatible with Leading Laser Types and Applications
Our beam shapers & splitters are made for high energy ultra-short-pulse lasers (down to 300 fs) and high power continuous-wave lasers up to multi kilowatt regime. Laser wavelengths support: UV (343/355nm), Blue (450nm), Green (515/532nm). Infrared (1030/1064nm) is currently in prototyping phase. Further wavelengths are available on request.
Fits Industrial Standards
Our products come in sizes of one and two inch (25mm/50mm). Further diameters or geometries are available on request.

Our Manufacturing Process
Structured Light + High Reflective Blank
= Reflective Beam Shaper
By using laser light, we create a structured surface on a mirror blank with a highly reflective coating. The result is a continuous diffractive optical element (DOE).
We are Midel Photonics
We are a team of four physicists with a passion for technical innovation. Our broad spectrum of interests is coupled with our experience in the fields of project management, hardware & software, technologies, product development, business administration and sales.
