Measuring the focal spot of a high power laser is challenging, at best.
The main issue is that when a high power laser is focused down to a small point, the power density can be extremely high, typically high enough to damage any sort of measurement equipment you would use.
The solution?

Does power density damage threshold really change with power? Shouldn’t it remain the same throughout the whole power range? In this video you’ll learn why the specified damage threshold does indeed depend on the power level, and not just on power density.

BeamMaker helps engineers, technicians, and researchers understand a beam’s modal content by creating a theoretically generated beam. Design your perfect beam profile in BeamMaker by specifying the mode, size, width, height, intensity, angle, and noise content – then configure your laser to run as designed, and compare your actual beam to the theoretically derived measurements. The end result is knowledge about how much the real beam varies from the desired beam.
