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 ...

The scientific community is often faced with the requirement of testing, validating, or merely qualifying several laser sources planned for a particular project.

A developer of power-bed additive manufacturing systems needed a beam profiling system that could be used by their field technicians for setup and maintenance of customers’ lasers.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The use of lasers to perform this heat treating process has become a well-accepted approach. Understanding the beam shape, the uniformity of its intensity, and the cleanliness of the ...

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 ...

Questions like these are common, given the sheer number of parameters Ophir's BeamGage software calculates from each beam profile. When faced with all these various metrics, it's natural ...

In part 1, we discussed camera technologies that are available for covering various wavelengths. There are similar options for scanning slit profilers.

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 ...

We do not recommend using the smallest scan heads (3.5 mm aperture, 1.8 μm slit) for M2 measurement, because they are subject to a distortion effect called vignetting: Scanning slits ...

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

The Focal Length Divergence measurement method is based upon the beam width of a focused beam’s spot size and the focal length of the focusing optic.

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 ...
