Typical applications for lasers and F-Theta lenses can be found in biological and medical sciences as well as industrial laser material processing. In these fields, appropriate insitu process control becomes more and more important. Due to the complex requirements, this has never been offered as a standard product. Qioptiq as vendor of high-performance Ronar F-Theta lenses as well as dedicated specialist for Optem zoom lenses now combines both systems to the optical insitu process control system Inspec.x scan. It can be integrated into existing optical paths using a beam splitter.

Your Advantage: Laser as well as as the zoom system positioned behind the F-Theta lens can access the working area simultaneously. Processing and controling can be performed at the same time. A possible application in life sciences is shown in the drawing on the left.

The use of zoom lenses allows to adapt the field of view to the particular requirements.
Qioptiq has thus bridged the gap of insitu process control in an important part of the value-added chain as we offer a cost-sensitive solution for industrial as well as R&D purposes.
