Beam Profile of Dental LED Curing Units

Ophir Photonics

The light-curing times recommended by dental manufacturers are based on placing the tip end of the curing light as close as possible to the surface of the resin, but in clinical situations, this positioning is often difficult or impossible to achieve. Continued

Beam Profiler- a question of productivity

Ophir Photonics

A customer needed to align lasers over a long distance. Their traditional technique was to sight the laser in on a target 100m away and make the adjustments. By using the NanoScan scanning slit beam profiler they were able to shrink this test fixture down to the bench top, thereby saving both time and space, and increase their productivity dramatically.

The NanoScan Beam Profiler For aligning fiber optic components

9.11.11

Fiber optic telecommunications systems include optical components where light exits the fiber, is directed through optical elements such as optical filters or optical amplifiers, and is then coupled back into a fiber and sent towards its destination. The beam exits the fiber with a diverging angle and has to be collimated by a collimating lens before it propagates through the optical elements.  After the beam is modified it has to be refocused by a lens and coupled back into a fiber.
