A new donut-shaped diffractive optical vortex element made by Holo/OR and distributed by Laser Components has an outside profile that is square, while the inside is round. This ensures homogenous material removal in laser material processing. A typical laser beam has the highest beam intensity at its center; the vortex element redirects the power to the edges to achieve a higher efficiency in the overall system.
