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 ...

Ophir provides mutual interconnections between different Ophir products via adapters with various threads, designed to exactly fit required optical path distances for each device.

When purchasing a highly advanced laser for use in the workplace, such as a laser, learning how to properly apply, troubleshoot, and evaluate that device becomes very important.

The development of this multi-focal laser welding process was significantly accelerated by the compact Ophir BeamWatch measuring device from MKS, which measures laser beams in real ...

This document is intended to show how the process of obtaining data and providing measurements using Ophir-Spiricon’s Rayleigh-scatter beam profiling technology, BeamWatch®, aligns ...

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 ...

NanoScan applications are normally processes and the problems that are solved by them are usually one of the processes, such as an alignment, collimation, or a precise focusing process ...

High power is a fairly indistinct term that means different things in different contexts. For our purposes, "high power" is defined as between 100W and 5000W, however the High Power ...

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 ...

Choosing the best profiler for a laser is a complex process. There is no one profiler available that works with all lasers because of all the factors involved. Here we'd like to help ...

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

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 ...

Laser pointing accuracy and pointing stability are defined as an angular value, usually in milli- or microradians (mr or μr). Pointing accuracy is simply whether the laser points where ...

To determine the effect of special measurement algorithms generated by Spiricon, a simulated beam width calculation was performed. A mathematically generated Gaussian beam was computer ...

The m² Beam propagation measurement is made by observing how a laser beam behaves when focused with a lens. The ISO 11142 protocol calls for measurements to be made along the z-axis ...

A new instrument design allows the M² beam propagation ratio to be measured in real time at the update rate of a standard CCD camera. This allows lasers from single shot to CW to be ...

Your laser can be one of your most valuable investments. But as anyone working with lasers knows, it can also be a source of frustration when it comes to optimizing it for your manufacturing ...

We’ve heard for several years about the high quality beams that the fiber laser produces. Laser quality is usually defined by an M2 measurement. The closer the M2 measurement is to ...
