Why and How to Profile Challenging Laser Applications
We introduce three techniques for monitoring the critical characteristics of the beam as the laser is used in three very different applications: (a) VSCEL / Laser Diode Mode and beam divergence, (b) Additive Manufacturing lasers used is 3D SLM / SLS, and (c) Fiber welding / heat treating / cleaning lasers. We will discuss three…

Things to Remember When Setting Up Laser Measurement Equipment for the First Time
Recently, I had the opportunity to perform a product demonstration for a prospect. I’d been in field sales for Ophir for about seven and a half years from 2009 to 2016, but with the pandemic limiting customer visits over the past several years combined with a recent role change, it had been a while since…

Terahertz Technology- New Challenges, New Solutions
Terahertz (=THz) radiation is electromagnetic radiation located between the low-frequency far-infrared and the high-frequency microwave parts of the spectrum (from 0.3 to 3 x 1012 Hz, with a wavelength from 10 micrometers to 1 mm). THz radiation is unique because it combines useful properties of both radio waves and infrared waves. THz radiation can be…
