Patent attributes
A laser processing system includes a laser beam source that produces a raw laser beam; a beam expansion system that receives the raw laser beam and produces an expanded laser beam; a homogenization system that receives the expanded laser beam and produces a laser beam that is homogenized and has a line-shaped beam cross section in the processing plane, wherein the homogenization system includes a first homogenization arrangement that homogenizes along the short axis and a second homogenization arrangement for homogenization along the long axis, each of the homogenization arrangements includes optical elements that split the laser beam into a multiplicity of partial beams and a condenser system that superposes the partial beams in a superposition plane, and the first homogenization arrangement includes a first condenser system with at least one first mirror and the second homogenization arrangement includes a second condenser system with at least one second mirror.
