Laser Beam Profiling

Near-Infrared (NIR) and Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) laser beam profiling for measuring pointing direction, beam divergence, beam width, and other beam characteristics

A laser beam profile is produced to identify spatial characteristics that predict the propagation, quality, and utility of a laser beam. These spatial characteristics include beam width, divergence, and direction. Laser beam profiling is important for manufacturers of products that utilize lasers as the core technology. Applications in the medical and industrial fields often require laser sources as tools, and these lasers must be analyzed and well understood. Products designed for laser printing, welding, cutting, and fiber optics require information about the efficiency, power, special distribution, and uniformity of the beam only possible through laser beam profiling systems.
