Whether the application is industrial, medical, military or scientific, diagnosing a problem in your optical system can be confusing, time-consuming and costly. Beam profiling can help. There can be few frustrations greater than finding that your laser-based optical system is not working as well as expected, or that it is failing altogether. But a possible solution literally goes straight to the source: Measuring the beam quality of the optical system could reveal that the beam power is not spatially distributed as expected, or that the size of the beam is not as expected. Once the...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...
