As the variety of commercial lasers increases, users need a greater overall understanding of how to measure their output. Sensors, readouts and test setup can affect your accuracy when measuring laser power and other critical parameters. In applications such as materials processing, environmental monitoring and confocal microscopy, understanding the laser's performance is critical. For example, a laser that operates erratically as it drills holes in steel could fail to penetrate the metal or produce holes...Read full article
