University Research Team Faces Challenges of Measuring Multiple Lasers

Lasers used in labs must be measured.

However, there are usually many constraints, even besides the obvious one (money): 

1. Cost effective
2. Commercially available
3. Easy to use
4. Quick to set up

On top of that, in a recent application, a research team had to measure three different laser beam profiles.  Each laser had a very different wavelength, so the solution was not so obvious.

At first, the researches wanted to get two profiling systems, but this turned out to be cost-prohibitive.
