The BeamSquared laser beam quality (M²) measurement system is based on the company's patented Ultracal baseline correction algorithm that helped establish the ISO 11146-3 standard for beam measurement accuracy. The system measures the propagation characteristics of continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed lasers, from UV to near-IR to telecom wavelengths in automated mode in <1 min. Manual mode is available for CO₂ lasers and wavelengths greater than near-IR, including terahertz. Measurements include waist diameters, full angle divergence, waist locations, Rayleigh lengths, M² or K and BPP factors, astigmatism, and asymmetry.SPIE Photonics West booth number: 1400To Learn More:Contact:Ophir-SpiriconHeadquarters: North Logan, UTProduct: BeamSquared laser M² measurement systemKey Features: Meausres propagation characteristics from UV to near-IR to telecom wavelengthsWhat Ophir-Spiricon says: View more information on the BeamSquared laser M² measurement system.View More Products Locate a vendor or system integrator in our Buyer's Guide.Share new products that you think are particularly interesting or helpful by contacting Lee Dubay, Associate Editor, Laser Focus World.
