Working with lasers? Need a new sensor? Beam profiling solutions? Are there any laser parameters you need to calculate, such as power density or ideal focus spot size? Check out Ophir’s tools
Beam Profile finder
Simply input your input parameters and the finder lists the best beam profiling solutions for you
As you probably know, we already have a Sensor Finder on the Ophir website to help you find the right device to measure your laser’s power or energy.
But what about devices to measure the beam profile?
Our brand new beam profile finder allows you to easily find the camera or slit based beam profiler that best suits your application, including the needed accessories

Calculators
Ever need a quick calculation of some parameter of your laser beam? We’re here to make your work easier…Check out these Ophir Calculators. It’s better than doing it in your head!
Laser Power Density Calculator
Use this calculator to: determine the power density and/or fluence (energy density) of your laser beam.
Laser Peak Power Calculator
Use this calculator to: determine the peak power of your laser beam.
Calculator for Temperature Rise in Uncooled Laser Power Sensors
Use this calculator to: determine the temperature increase in a block of aluminum (like most Ophir power sensors). The temperature rise depends on the laser power and exposure time, as well as its weight.
Focal Spot Size Calculator for Gaussian Laser Beams
Use this calculator to: get the size and location of your Gaussian laser beam waist at focus, as well as the Rayleigh range. Input parameters are explained further by mousing-over the information (i) icon.
Laser Focusability (Gaussian Beam)
For a collimated beam, the diffraction-limited focal spot size of a laser beam depends on its wavelength, the size of the beam at the lens and its M2 value. Use this calculator to: determine your laser’s diffraction-limited focal spot size, assuming an ideal lens without aberrations and a collimated laser beam. If the beam is not collimated, then the full Focal Spot Size Calculator should be used (set p to 0.01 and fill in λ, fl, θ, d).
Laser Power Through Aperture Calculator (Gaussian Beam)
Gaussian laser beams have power intensities in the shape of a bell curve (Gaussian). This means that the nominal diameter doesn’t include 100% of the laser beam’s power. A small portion of the power is contained in the edges, or wings, that spread past the nominal beam diameter.
Use this calculator: Tosee how much of the laser beam will pass through a given aperture
