About This Webinar
Measuring a pulsed laser is complex. Besides power, you also need to worry about pulse energy, frequency, and pulse width (duration). If you need to measure laser pulse energies — perhaps to monitor a process that uses them — you will most likely run into a variety of issues and challenges.
For instance:
- How pulse frequency and pulse width can limit your measurement range
- Damage threshold vs. pulse width
- Beam size — how much of your aperture should you fill
In this webinar, you will learn how laser energy measurement works and how to do it right.
We’ll cover:
- Technical principles behind energy measurement
- Best practices for making sure you are getting accurate readings
- How to avoid out-of-tolerance issues with your measuring tools
- and more ...
