LCOS-SLM X15213-03CL with the world's highest power handling capability

Hamamatsu Photonics has developed a new LCOS-SLM (Liquid Crystal On Silicon - Spatial Light Modulator), the X15213-03CL, that delivers the world's highest power handling capability up to 700 W. We did this by harnessing our unique thermal design technology which enhances heat dissipation performance.

The X15213-03CL is an optical component designed for laser beam machining of metal materials which also allows free control of laser beam patterns. The X15213-03CL vastly boosts production efficiency when used for specific applications. This includes metal 3D printing, where metal powder is sintered by laser to form solidified parts for aircraft and transport equipment, as well as laser metal welding and cutting.

Sales of this product will start on Friday, December 1, 2023, for domestic and overseas manufacturers of metal 3D printers and laser beam machining equipment.

We will also display this new product on our booth at the LASER World of PHOTONICS 2023 which is the world's leading trade fair for lasers, laser systems, and optics held in Munich, Germany from Tuesday, June 27 to Friday, June 30, 2023.
