Why do Lasiris line generators have lower class ratings than other line generators on the market with the same laser power?
Line generators from our competitors use cylindrical optics which generates a line having a Gaussian uniformity profile, bright in the center and fading out toward the ends. This center “hot spot” often has enough energy to push the laser into the next level of safety ratings. Since Coherent uses a patented optical design (the Powell Lens) to generate a line of quasi-even intensity, there is no “hot spot” and therefore a lower class rating for your laser is observed. See the Lasiris Advantages page or the description about Gaussian uniformity profile on our Non-Gaussian Distribution page.
