Spectral beam combining gratings

For high power Directed Energy applications

Fused silica surface relief grating technology delivers the highest power handling capability. Ibsen’s telecom gratings are advanced, polarization-independent (PING) gratings fabricated using advanced lithographic or holographic stepper patterning combined with reactive ion etching in 100% dielectric materials. This technology provides unmatched thermal and environmental stability, with no polymers, epoxies, gelatins, or metals in the optical path – or anywhere in the grating structure.

The precision of our etching technology delivers industry-leading diffraction efficiency and ultra-low polarization-dependent loss (PDL) across an exceptionally broad bandwidth. Additionally, the low angular sensitivity of our gratings simplifies module design and facilitates seamless integration.

Key benefits

  • Low loss is achieved by careful design and manufacturing of the grating profile

  • Gratings can be designed for either single or dual polarization use

  • A highly precise grating period ensures that beam quality is maintained

  • Transmission optics are inherently tolerant to alignment and vibration effects

  • Fused silica, surface relief transmission gratings are 100% fused silica and have the highest power handling capability of any grating technology

  • Demonstrated to withstand >3 MW/cm2 CW laser power

  • Wafer-based, semiconductor manufacturing technology ensures scalable manufacturing

  • From DUV to NIR, with widespread SBC utilization within 9xx and 10xx nm ranges
