High-Precision Cameras For Laser Beam Profiling And Analysis

Analyze, Understand, And Perfect Your Laser With Ease

Measure and analyze laser beams with industrial cameras for precise profiling. Optimize performance, stability, and quality in laser applications.

Challenges & Trends

Capturing Every Laser Wavelength Without Missing Details

Lasers span UV, visible, NIR and SWIR, each demands dedicated measurement expertise. Accurately measuring across all wavelengths is challenging, as tiny differences can yield incomplete or inaccurate beam profiles.

Revealing True Beam Shape Across All Intensities

Laser intensity and distribution vary widely. Obtaining reliable, repeatable profiles without missing subtle variations is difficult, risking compromised process control, quality, or research outcomes.

Integrating Laser Profiling Seamlessly Into Complex Workflows

Incorporating beam profiling into existing systems is tricky. Inconsistent interfaces, setup delays, and measurement artifacts make achieving smooth, repeatable results a constant challenge.

Applications

Transmission Of Communication Data

To feed source signals into the fiber optic cable with as little loss as possible, the coupling efficiency of the laser is permanently monitored.

Material Processing

Optimizing the laser beam's shape and size directly influences cut quality, edge smoothness, processing speed, across metals, polymers, ceramics, and composite materials.

Lidar Systems

In Lidar systems and autonomous vehicles, precise beam characterization ensures accurate distance measurements and object detection, enabling safe navigation and collision avoidance.

Biomedical Applications

SWIR wavelength can penetrate deeper into soft tissue with reduced scattering and less autofluorescence. Ensuring the correct wavelength is essential for accurate operations.

Technical Requirements

Infrared senitivity to accurately capture and measure the laser beam at the desired wavelength.
High-resolution SWIR cameras for better characterization of beam width, shape, and intensity distribution.
Suitable sensor size to accommodate the beam diameter of the laser being profiled.
High dynamic range to handle both low and high-intensity laser beams without saturation or loss of sensitivity.
High linearity to ensure reliability for laser beam analysis.
