Split-beam Telecentric Optical Replication Module
STORM is a complete optical module that transforms a single laser beam into an array of identical , focused, telecentric processing spots. Combining high spot-to-spot uniformity with millimetre-scale separation and micro scale pitch to pitch precision, it enables parallel scribing, patterning and repeated-feature processing. Configurable spot arrangements and robust, lightweight construction make STORM a practical solution for stage based scanning systems.
• Multiple spots. One coordinated process
Perform the same processing step at several locations simultaneously. STORM divides a single input beam into a focused spot array configured around your processing geometry.
• Fine spots. Wide separation
Combine 30µm scale focal spots with millimetre-scale spacing. The 532 nm configuration delivers 34 µm spots at 10 mm pitch across a 50 mm processing field.
• Simple pitch adjustment by rotating the DOE
easly adjust spots pitch by rotating the adjustment ring , tilting the splitting line vs the scan direction.
• Consistent neighboring-spot spacing
+-3um maximal variation of adjacent-spot pitch for 10mm pitch .
• High spot-to-spot uniformity
STORM is designed for <2% p2V energy deviation between spots across the array.
• Telecentric delivery
Near-normal (<0.01deg deviation) beam delivery across the processing field provides consistent incidence geometry throughout the array.
• High power compatible, all Fused Silica
All optics are made of laser grade fused silica with high LIDT AR/AR coatings, suitable for ultra short pulse lasers and wavlengths from Uv to IRal

STORM Applications
Parallel scribing
Create multiple tracks simultaneously as the workpiece moves beneath the spot array.
Thin-film patterning
Repeat selective processing at separated locations across a substrate.
Panel and web processing
Align the spot array with repeated features or parallel processing lanes.
Repeated-feature ablation
Apply the same local processing step at multiple workpiece positions.
Designed with ultrashort pulses in mind
Preserve the advantages of short pulses with an optical delivery system designed to limit material-induced pulse broadening.
Low material dispersion is a design priority for STORM. Ultrashort-pulse compatibility is assessed for your wavelength, pulse duration, spectral bandwidth and operating power.
Your process. Your spot array.
The six-spot configuration is a starting point—not a fixed limit. STORM can be configured for different spot counts, arrangements and separations, allowing the optical array to match your workpiece layout.
please contact us to Define your requirements
- Spot count and arrangement — match repeated features or processing lanes.
- Spot spacing — set the separation required by your process.
- Focal spot diameter — match the scale of the processing feature.
- Wavelength — select a configuration for your laser and material.
- Uniformity and pitch consistency — define the tolerances your application needs.
- Laser parameters — account for beam quality, pulse characteristics and power.
Each configuration is reviewed against the supported processing field and optical operating range.
