Laser Beam Analysis Resources

Details on all of our laser measurement instruments.

A laser beam profiler will increase your chance of success anytime you wish to design or apply a laser or when you find your laser system is no longer meeting specifications. You would …

Case Study: During production and, above all, during the final inspection of the laser systems, the measured parameters are continually compared against the specifications.

To ensure the high quality of each laser system, thorough end-of-line testing is mandatory before a laser system is delivered.

Here are three tips how to ensure precise measurement with your Ophir BeamSquared system over years.

Beam attenuation is critical because lasers designed for cutting sheet steel will have no trouble cutting through a beam profiler if the beam power isn't attenuated.

The underlying operational principle is based on the fact that residues of body fluids, natural oils and sweat absorb radiation in the infrared range.

Many non-invasive methods for measuring blood glucose have failed because they were not accurate enough: Glucose values in body fluids such as tears, saliva or sweat do not correlate …

Among hundreds of variables that are associated with an Additive Manufacturing process are the many variables associated with the laser that is used within the system. These lasers …

Ensuring beam quality in automated industrial laser materials processing poses many challenges for measurement technology. MKS addressed these challenges by developing Ophir BeamWatch …

With lasers there will always be opportunities for improvement. Reliable technology for measuring the laser beam can really help with process optimization.

Beyond knowing power or energy, most laser owners and operators have never seen their beam in real time, because most lasers are invisible to the human eye. Users rely on the certification …

in general we recommend to not use 4-pin on-board 1394 FireWire ports (that can be found on some laptop computers) since they tend to be less reliable and/or cause the Pyrocam III to …

With the broad range of wavelengths that can be measured with this instrument, the first consideration is the material and anti-reflective coating of the lens. There are a number of …

With the current CCD technology, this means that a CCD can measure a beam of approximately 40-50 um diameter. A scanning slit profiler is known for being able to measure smaller beams—but …

BeamGage produces five different types of files. All use industry standard formats. The list of file types and their naming extensions are as follows:

Image logging and export formats in BeamGage are intended for use as easily created screenshots for reports and presentations. Alternatively there are real data formats for use in mathematical …

The Partition feature, available in BeamGage Professional, allows subdividing the camera imager into separate regions, called partitions, and which can then compute separate beam results …

A set of tools has become available in the past few years that allows end users of industrial lasers to optimize the laser process while complying with current ISO and AWS technical …

What happens when your company's new laser fails to perform according to specifications and your best customers are waiting weeks for delivery? Does the manufacturer send a field service …
