WHITE PAPER

Real-time Profiling for Focusing, M2, Divergence & Alignment
DataRay Inc.
Beam intensity profiling is an essential tool in many aspects of photonics. The precise intensity distribution in a focused laser beam is critical in many applications: flow cytometry, laser printing, medical lasers, and cutting lasers are just a few examples. Intensity profile measurements can characterize and improve a product or process, leading to substantial cost and time savings that can pay for the measurement instrument many times over. This white paper describes how the unique, patented, real-time multiple z-plane XYZTF capabilities of the BeamMap2 slit-scan profiler can speed and simplify laser assembly alignment.

FEATURED VIDEO
Edmund Optics – Polarization Overview
Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light. Polarizers are commonly integrated into optical systems to decrease glare or increase contrast, or for measuring changes in magnetic fields, temperature, or chemical interactions. Join Brian McCall as he discusses the types of polarization and polarizers.
