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 ...

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

The skills required to understand, troubleshoot, and correct problems with lasers, and the systems they are a part of, are in high demand. It's all part of an evolution whereby yesterday's ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Ophir Photonics uses pyroelectric detectors in a number of their products, both for beam profiling and for laser power measurement.

There is a fair amount of confusion caused by the reporting of dynamic range of beam profilers. The purpose of this applications note is to explain some of the terminology used in 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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
