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 ...

Measuring the performance of a laser has possible for a number of years and is accomplished with a variety of techniques. These electronic laser measurement solutions give the laser ...

We are frequently asked how one can output data from the NanoScan to other programs for additional analysis or publication. Depending nature of the desired end results there can be ...

Scanning slit profilers boast several advantageous qualities, such as the ability to measure high powers without attenuation, relatively inexpensive infrared compatibility, and ...

It isn’t always obvious when a NanoScan has a damaged slit. There’s no loud sound and often no obvious problem with the equipment or the results. Since the damage is often confined ...

In this laser, a significant amount of the energy is far out in the wings of the beam. This particular laser was used to cut steel, and it was found that, with time, there were variations ...

Many laser users sympathize with this situation after enduring similar problems with their own lasers. Production line shut-downs, cash-flow disasters, late deliveries, irate customers ...

If you have been in the laser cutting business long enough you eventually will have one of those days when, no matter what you do, the laser will not cut your parts cleanly…if at a ...

The NanoScan software allows the characterization of up to 16 simultaneous beams entering the aperture, allowing the user to examine and evaluate various standard beam parameters displayed ...

High power is a fairly indistinct term that means different things in different contexts. High power laser beams are handled by using reflective materials, and the level of reflectivity ...

Measurement of the divergence of such sources can be made using either the Goniometric Radiometer or NanoScan family of products. The accuracy and detail of the measurement depends ...

ALAW is an excellent forum to discover and discuss the latest technologies with respect to material processing that involves the use of a laser. Being in the Detroit area, the conversations ...

Providing instrumentation on-board a 6800 ton submarine that ensures true and accurate pitch, yaw, and roll data is essential. Laser based systems are required to achieve this level ...

Whether you’re new to lasers or you’ve been working with them for some time, you may be wondering what all the fuss is over laser beam profiling. Why worry about the quality of the ...

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

Ophir has an unparalleled collection of cameras, beam splitters/attenuators, beam expanders, beam reducers, UV to visible light converters, and other components that allow you to profile ...

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.

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.
