High average power handling - The newest SLM from Meadowlark Optics boasts CW power handling up to 1.4 kW at 1070 nm. In tests at SPICA, the SLM retained its full >1 wave range of phase modulation. With sapphire cover glass, built-in water cooling and a suite of calibration tools, the high power SLM can maintain calibrated performance under extreme laser power loads. SLMs can shape laser beams used in welding and additive manufacturing of metal, for increased efficiency and quality. They can also split a single laser beam into an array of shaped beams for high-throughput surface treatment for aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing – the higher power the SLM can handle, the greater the number of laser beams it can steer at once.
