A new type of detector for laser output characterization enables real-time process control in embedded systems. Lasers process a wide range of materials in an extraordinarily diverse array of applications that often share a common requirement: the need to regularly measure laser output characteristics such as average power, pulse energy, pulse shape or beam profile to ensure optimum and consistent processing.

Optical Filters Open Up New Uses for MWIR, LWIR Systems
The future for photonics imaging is bright in a previously dark wavelength regime: The ability to image ‘invisible’ features such as thermal profiles, gases and other environmental constituents in a commercially viable manner has begun to open up new application areas for mid- and long-wave infrared sensor systems.
