Diffractive Diffusers

A Diffractive diffuser is a type of diffractive optic that can take a laser beam and redistribute the light into virtually any pattern desired. These types of optics are used when the light source is monochromatic. Diffusers have a tightly controlled angle providing high efficiency. They are not sensitive to alignment and do not affect the polarization of the input beam. Applications like remote sensing and LIDAR/LADAR use diffusers to be able to scan a larger area quickly.
