The following video describes the basics of laser beam profiling. Learn how to measure your laser beam, find out which different shapes of “beam profile” or spatial energy distribution are required for different laser applications, such as welding and cutting and check out the impact that laser beam diameter has on laser power density. The…
StarLab is Ophir’s easy-to-use, yet powerful, laser measurement software that turns a PC into a multi-channel laser power / energy display station. BeamTrack sensors are a unique series of Ophir thermopile sensors that can measure beam position and beam size while measuring power at the same time, all combined in one sensor. BeamTrack sensors provide…
When we have a laser with certain characteristics and we want to know which Ophir Power/Energy sensors are suitable, we either look at the catalog specification of some likely sensor to see if it is suitable, or we put our laser characteristics into the Ophir Sensor Finder and it gives a list of suitable sensors.…
Telecom applications can employ lasers over a very wide range of powers–which requires sensors suitable for anywhere from 10 picowatts to 300 milliwatts. Read about Ophir’s Optical Power Measurement Solutions for Telecom Applications
