BeamGage Profiling with .Net Automation Interface and LabVIEW®
BeamGage Professional and BeamGage Enterprise version 5.7 are supported with Automation via .Net components. Both include a LabVIEW example that can be run with the LabVIEW Run-Time ...
Technical Note
Installing the Pyrocam III
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 ...
Technical Note
Selecting the Correct Lens for M² Measurements with NanoModeScan
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 ...
Technical Note
What is Convolution, or How Small of a Beam Can I Measure?
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 ...

Uncovering Cause of Bad Welds in Fiber Delivery System
When installing a fiber delivered laser system, checking the quality of the delivered beam is important. The beam quality can be checked at the couplers and verified through the optics. ...
Technical Article
Beam Profiling: A Primer
Laser beam profiling provides the tools to characterize the laser and know precisely what the beam is doing at the point of the work and if the optics are having the desired effect. ...
Technical Note
Attenuation-Induced Error Due to Thermal Lensing
it is possible to stack up a sufficient optical density to reduce the power of a 1W laser to the nW levels that will not saturate the detector. Unfortunately, doing this will more than ...
Technical Article
Deming Must Be Wrong
W. Edwards Deming said, "If you can't measure it, you can't control it," and "You cannot inspect quality into the product; it is already there." Instead of trying to inspect-in quality, ...

Why Beam Profiling at 1550 nm Requires InGaAs Cameras
A recent application called for the beam analysis of a 1550 nm laser source with a challenging optical arrangement. Signal loss occurred at each beam transfer across multiple reflective ...
Technical Article
Consistent Measuring Technology Ensures the Quality of Medical Lasers
Case Study: During production and, above all, during the final inspection of the laser systems, the measured parameters are continually compared against the specifications.
Technical Article
How to Easily Speed Up End-of-line Quality Testing for Lasers
To ensure the high quality of each laser system, thorough end-of-line testing is mandatory before a laser system is delivered.
Technical Article
Beam Attenuation: Key to Successful Beam Profiling
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.
