Precise control of light with variable optics

definition

Variable optics are optical components whose properties can be specifically and dynamically modified. This technology enables the control of light parameters such as intensity, polarization, or phase. Variable optics the possibility of adapting optical systems in different application areas.

Ferroelectric optical shutters and high-contrast optical shutters

Our range includes various types of variable optics. Ferroelectric optical shutters enable fast optical switching. High-contrast optical shutters are characterized by a high degree of light blockage when closed. These components are suitable for applications requiring fast and precise light modulation.

Variable optics with temperature control and detection

Variable optics with integrated temperature control and sensing are also available. This functionality is relevant for applications where the optical properties are temperature-dependent and precise temperature control is required. The integrated temperature sensing enables monitoring of the operating temperature.

Variable beam attenuators and variable waveplates (UV)

Our portfolio also includes variable beam attenuators. These components enable the controlled reduction of a light beam's intensity. Variable waveplates, including versions for the ultraviolet (UV) spectral range, allow the dynamic adjustment of light polarization. Optics offer flexibility in optical manipulation.

Selection criteria 

When selecting suitable Optics The specific requirements of the respective application should be considered. These include the required switching speed, contrast, the relevant wavelength range, and the necessary control accuracy. Environmental conditions and compatibility with existing systems must also be considered. Our experienced team will assist you in selecting the optimal components for your specific requirements.
