Fundamentals of Beam Profiling

Learn how to measure your laser beam in this video that describes the basics of laser beam profiling. Find out which different shapes of "beam profile" or spatial energy distribution are required for different laser applications, such as welding and cutting. Check out the impact that laser beam diameter has on laser power density. The video gives an overview of the most critical types of laser measurements. It also includes a brief introduction to the tools needed to measure a laser beam, such as BeamMaker, a feature in the Ophir BeamGage software, that lets you learn more about your laser beam and practice beam measurement.   For more information, please go to: https://bit.ly/3TGEMZC ======= // JOIN OUR LASER MEASUREMENT COMMUNITY!
