Beam Profiling Evolves to Keep Lasers in Line with New Applications

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Emerging applications, such as additive manufacturing and industrial trends toward more integration and automation, are driving innovations in laser beam profiling.

Lasers provide many different industries with greater efficiency, less waste, and higher precision, but they are not always as easy to fix as the machines they replace. A blunted drill bit is easier to observe and replace than an underperforming laser beam is to detect and correct. Fortunately, as laser technology has evolved, so have a variety of technologies that measure, monitor, and help to optimize the power, shape, and energy of a laser beam. What cannot be measured cannot be improved. Laser beam profiling describes how power is distributed spatially within the beam. A 2D...Read full article
