(July 13, 2010)

We offer several opportunities to learn more about VirtualLab™ at SPIE Optics + Photonics, San Diego, CA, USA, starting August 1, 2010. VirtualLab™ is being presented at the SPIE show at booth 628 of our distributor in the United States, Jenoptik Optical Systems, Inc. Further a free seminar on &quot...

VirtualLab™ 4.8 Released

(July 09, 2010)

VirtualLab™ and VirtualLab™ Advanced 4.8 have been released. VirtualLab™ 4.8 extends the flexibility of 2-D grating simulations. Using so called stacks, the period of the structure can be defined by sequences of optical interfaces, including grating, conical, aspherical, sampled and programmable int...

Shaping Light by Diffusing

We speak about diffusers if the radiation from a source is distributed in a more random-like manner to obtain the desired intensity pattern in the target region. This light transformation concept is adapted from holography. LightTrans designs diffusers with deterministic scattering behavior. LightTrans Deterministic Diffuser™ is designed by diffractive optics techniques often combined with standard lens design methods. Deterministic Diffuser™ is well suited for all partially coherent sources like LED and excimer lasers. But also for coherent laser sources they often allow the generation of shaped and homogenized light fields as long as the resulting speckle pattern is not resolved by the detector. Deterministic Diffuser™ technology is a powerful solution to technical and commercial illumination tasks, light pattern generation, and storage and display of information.

The setup demonstrates how the utilization of sophisticated non-paraxial diffuser design techniques allows one to obtain an amazingly large light pattern – here as example the ‘skyline’ of Jena – at a short distance behind a simple device consisting of a diode laser and a diffusing component.
