The Raith Laser Systems (formerly 4Pico), PicoMaster XF-H series is the next generation of large-format mastering systems and the world's first purpose-built, high-speed, high-resolution, large-format, multi-beam DWL system for the origination of holograms, diffractive 'rainbow' patterns, Fresnel lenses, Fresnel 'bas-relief' images, zero-colour 'platinum' patterns, HOE's and DOE's, micro-mirror and micro-lens arrays, and many other types of 2.5D, greyscale, micro-structured optical surfaces for premium packaging and product embellishment applications.

The PicoMaster XF 500-H is a turn-key solution to create all kinds of 2.5D, greyscale, seamless, micron, and sub-micron scale structured surfaces over 500 x 500 mm (20" x 20") areas at high speed. The system is supplied with a 405nm laser, 600 nm resolution capability (optional 400nm resolution), a high-resolution optical auto-focus system, and PicoHLD, a fully-featured, user-friendly hologram, diffractive pattern, and Fresnel lens design and composition program. The system is also supplied with Spatial Imaging's Pattern Generator, a program for the generation of random shape and gradient 'pillars of light' patterns for packaging applications.

Raith Laser Systems is based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, the leading center of technology development in Europe, and the company employs numerous high-level engineers and programmers. It is also a subsidiary of Raith Nanofabrication, Dortmund, Germany, the world's leading supplier of e-beam and i-beam lithography systems. Raith Laser Systems offers professional support, second to none in the industry, with offices in North America, Europe, and the Far East.

Unlike conventional micro-lithography, which requires an array of optical components, single or multi-beam direct-write lithography creates seamless, non-pixellated, noise-free, and distortion-free holographic gratings and other micro-features.
