Scanlab FlexibleBeamShaper FBS-G3

Dynamic beam shaping system

Beam shape on demand

The FlexibleBeamShaper (FBS) is a machine integrable

beam shaping system for laser micromachining, that can

generate any user defined beam distributions.

To achieve this, the FBS is equipped with an electronically

controllable optical phase modulator. This allows the FBS

to be used as a photonic tool magazine with predefined

beam shapes on demand. In addition, the FBS is equipped

with a SCANLAB galvanometer scanner, so the generated

intensity distribution can be scanned over the workpiece.

These tools combined in a single system open up new

ways in laser  micromaching:

faster, more flexible and more efficient.
