When you first set up a new laser system, one of the biggest questions is: how do I know if it’s really doing what I need it to do?

That’s where measurement comes in. Whether you’re in industrial material processing, medical imaging, or research, keeping track of your laser’s behavior is essential for process stability, efficiency, and safety.

In this on-demand webinar, Mark Slutzki, Senior Product Marketing Specialist at Ophir Photonics, walks through the fundamentals of laser measurement, a topic that even experienced professionals sometimes overlook.

What you’ll learn

• The basics of lasers – what makes them unique, from coherent photons to high-power delivery over long distances.
• Why measurement matters – how monitoring your beam ensures your process does what it’s supposed to do.
• Key beam parameters – energy, power, energy density, power density, beam profile, and temporal profile.
• Real-world impact – how these parameters directly affect outcomes in applications like LiDAR, laser surgery, and material processing.

This is a back-to-basics session designed to answer the all-important question: Where do I start when it comes to measuring my laser?
