Webinar on Demand: Laser Characteristics that Drift and How to Manage the Changes (with Photonics Media)

Lasers used for material processing face two general challenges over the course of their lives.
First, these lasers operate at relatively higher power levels compared to lasers used in other applications. Second, the environments in which these lasers operate are usually harsh. These two challenges can cause the laser’s performance to drift over time, causing adverse effects on their processes.

In this session, McCauley discusses first, which laser performance characteristics are meaningful to measure, second when, and at what frequency, these characteristics should be measured, and third and most importantly, how changes in these characteristics relate to the process.

The webinar was part of Photonics Media summit, presented by: John McCauley, MKS Ophir
