Tailored Laser Beam Shaping by Freeform and Diffractive Optics

Stuttgart, 6th of June, 2018, LASYS 2018

Discuss with us modeling and design of laser systems along applications like beam delivery and scanning, speaking also about the peculiarities of including gratings, etalons, graded-index media and crystals in said systems. Source modeling includes monomode and multimode Gaussian beam sources including temporal coherence effects. The modeling of systems for femtosecond pulses is presented, including pulse compression and stretching by grating pairs, focusing by low and high NA systems, walk-off effects and second-harmonic generation (SHG) modeling.
