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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

One aspect of the manufacturing process that is critical is the scribing of the photovoltaic material on the individual cells on the large panels. Lasers have proven to deliver highly …

With the advancements come more complex and “focused” (no pun intended) laser applications. In some cases, especially with industrial laser processes, it’s getting to the point where …

Included are two screenshots from a recent test using the ModeCheck device from Ophir-Spiricon. The screens below show a comparison of a II-VI MP5 lens and Ophir Optics Black Magic …

Aircraft operators, manufacturers, and government agencies have worked hard to find acceptable technologies to inspect the newer generation aircraft and ensure a level of safely for …

Laser beam characterization instruments provide the tools to know precisely what the laser beam is doing at the point of the work and if the optics are having the desired effect.

A manufacturer needed to profile and measure diodes that produce a 1300 nm CW source in the 10's of mW's. The inspection needed to be conducted in seconds with full accuracy and repeatability …

Many customers involved with laser welding measure the pulse energy output of their lasers, but is this all the data required needed to ensure quality welds? Steve Schellenberg at Spinal …

M² or Beam Propagation Ratio, is a value that indicates how close a laser is to being a single mode TEM00 beam, which in turn determines how small a beam waist can be focused. For the …

For the best resolution, the Ophir-Spiricon BGP-USB-SP620 camera, with an array 7.1mm x 5.4mm prepared with 4.4um x 4.4um pixels and a total matrix of 1600 x 1200 pixels, was selected. …

There are many different types of Ophir beam profilers. In this article we want to outline some of the major damages we have encountered in our European Service & Calibration …

AM involves building up a structure by adding material to it layer by layer, with each layer being a precise cross section of the structure. Originally used for rapid prototyping, AM …
