How to Analyze High Power Laser Beams

Every day a new application if found for lasers. High power lasers are especially useful for material processing, but are also used prevalently in scientific research and military applications. It is often crucial to be able to “see” the profile of a laser beam. If one is using a laser to cut metal, for instance,…

Light Shows: Are we attacking the audience with lasers?

Well, the short answer is (hopefully) no.  But the question is how can we be so sure?  After all, these are the same lasers that are used by metal manufacturers to cut steel in record times and by the military as the future of weapons. Contact us
