What Is F-theta Lens？

An f-theta lens, including telecentric f theta lens, is a type of lens used in laser marking, engraving, and scanning systems. The term 'f-theta' refers to the relationship between the focal length (f) and the angle (theta) of the laser beam as it scans across a flat plane. Unlike regular lenses that create a linear increase in distance with the angle, f-theta lenses produce a linear increase in distance for each unit of angle over a flat field.

The primary function of an f-theta scan lens is to ensure a consistent spot size and marking quality across the entire marking field. This is crucial in applications where precision and uniformity of laser marking or engraving are essential.

F-theta scan lenses are commonly used in laser systems for tasks such as marking barcodes, serial numbers, patterns, or intricate designs on materials like metals, plastics, and ceramics. The flat field of focus provided by these lenses allows for accurate and distortion-free laser marking over a specified area."

Application of F-theta Lens

F-theta lens are optical components used in laser scanning systems, primarily for applications requiring a flat field of view such as laser scanning, marking, engraving, and cutting systems. By introducing a specific amount of barrel distortion, these scan lens can produce a flat field on the image plane, making them an ideal choice. F-theta lens can create a flat field suitable for various applications, including laser welding, laser marking/engraving, laser drilling, laser displays, LIDAR, scanning laser microscopy, and optical coherence tomography.

F-θ lens are suitable for laser applications requiring a flat field of view, including but not limited to laser scanning systems, laser marking, laser engraving, and laser welding. These f theta scan lens provide high-performance imaging in these applications, allowing precise scanning and focusing of the laser within a specific area, thereby enabling fine processing and image handling functions.
