Measuring Really Small Laser Beams (< 10 microns)
Profiling small laser beams and measuring the beam size (or mode field diameter) can be a serious challenge. But it’s critical to measure, especially in such applications as fiber optic coupling efficiency, defect scanning, optical design and optical fabrication process control. Here’s how we suggest you do it
