When purchasing a laser, learning how to apply, troubleshoot, and evaluate that device is very important.

JOHN MCCAULEY, MKS Ophir

Given the pace at which technology advances, there always seems to be a learning curve. With the abundance of consumer electronics available, there typically is no right or wrong way to use these devices — the choice usually comes down to the method that best suits the end user. However, when purchasing a highly advanced device for use in the workplace, such as a laser, learning how to properly apply, troubleshoot, and evaluate that device becomes very important. As for products that measure a laser’s performance, the application can be tricky and sometimes overwhelming,...Read full article

    beam profiling
    Beam profiling is a technique used to characterize and analyze the spatial intensity distribution of a laser beam. It involves measuring and visualizing how the optical power or intensity is distributed across the cross-sectional area of the laser beam. The primary goal of beam profiling is to gain insights into the beam's quality, shape, and uniformity, which is crucial for various applications in fields such as laser manufacturing, research, and medical procedures. Key aspects of beam...
