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 …

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 …

The technology used in the BeamWatch laser beam profilers enables the measurement of high-power beams without ever touching the laser beam. As the technology is relatively new, it has …

Determining the beam profile at the beam focus of these lasers is critical to verify and improve manufacturing product quality. However, there are enormous challenges that must be overcome …

Setup and location of the beam was relatively simple. The X and Y movements were used in conjunction with the 633 nm target laser to center the beam on the camera chip.

Researchers are devising ways of generating and using more complex higher-order multimode formats, such as a TEM03 or TEM33. Some current examples are: telecommunications, analytical …

BeamWatch AM has been designed specifically for use in the additive manufacturing industry to provide non-interfering real-time beam measurement at the location of the working plan …

Dynamic range is meant to characterize the ratio between the highest and lowest measurable signals (i.e. the signal range). As we've written before on our blog, most laser beam profiling …

Successful outcomes require the power density distribution of the laser beam, as it is delivered to the work, to be symmetrical, uniform, and stable.

There are a number of valuable tools found on the Ophir web site that help lasers users determine the appropriate sensors for their laser beams. These tools also help compute power …

To create consistent, strong structures using laser-based additive manufacturing processes that meet flyable DOD standards or FDA requirements, the metallurgy must be consistent. In …

BeamGage is a multiple process application with three process types which run when BeamGage is operating: Spiricon.ConsoleService.exe, Spiricon.DataServer.exe, and Spiricon.Version5.exe. …

Is it possible to image a UV laser with a Silicon Sensor CCD camera offered by Ophir-Spiricon? The answer is yes, but the direct UV light ablates Silicon CCD chips over time. The ablation …

This paper will discuss how the signal of the laser produced from Rayleigh Scattering can put to rest any concerns by the laser user of damaging their laser measurement equipment. The …

How can I be certain that my Beam Profiler is measuring accurately? Is there a standard calibration methodology?

BeamGage does have the ability to run multiple instances while connected to the same camera source, which can add benefits such as simultaneous mutually exclusive results. For instance, …

BeamGage does have the ability to lock out controls and the modification of reported results through the Options Privileges feature.
