href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reese%27s_Peanut_Butter_Cups#Marketing_and_advertising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reese\u2019s peanut butter cups<\/a>, there\u2019s just no wrong way to eat a BeamTrack sensor.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s no right way either.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t eat your laser measurement equipment.<\/p>\n<p>But here are some other ideas for creative ways to use a BeamTrack sensor\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Power Density Meter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It should be obvious that a meter which detects the laser power and beam size (for a Gaussian laser), can calculate the power density of that laser.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t quite automatic, but here\u2019s how you can do it, without too much trouble.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Note the beam size on the meter \u2013 you can even get the average size from the statistics screen.<\/li>\n<li>Switch to the \u201cdensity\u201d screen.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the beam size value you measured.<\/li>\n<li>The meter will now show power density instead of power.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The density screen is actually available on regular power sensors too, but you\u2019ll have to get the beam size from another source in that case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Very Accurate Power Meter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have customers that use a BeamTrack meter even though they really just need to measure power.<\/p>\n<p>We naturally asked them why to invest in a meter with extraneous functions.\u00a0 They explained that the position and pointing stability features of the BeamTrack sensor made sure their laser was hitting the sensor right in the middle, and that the beam wasn\u2019t too large for the aperture.<\/p>\n<p>They were very particular about this since they needed high accuracy for their application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Will You Use the BeamTrack?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s your turn.\u00a0 How do you use your BeamTrack sensor?\u00a0 What would you use it for if you had it right now?<\/p>\n<p>Let me know down in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows?<\/p>\n<p>Your suggestion could lead to a new software option or a new type of BeamTrack sensor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike a traditional thermal sensor which is basically just used for power, the BeamTrack sensor can measure several
