Maximizing Laser Performance: What You Need to Know About Setting Up Power Meters and Beam Profilers

Measuring key laser performance characteristics, for example output power, beam size and shape, and focused spot location, help laser operators ensure the overall success of the system in which the laser is incorporated. Whether you’re a systems integrator embedding laser analysis tools inside a machine for your customer, or a laser technician performing periodic maintenance, the setup and use of the analysis equipment can be overwhelming. In this webinar, we’ll discuss best practices in the configuration and setup of commonly-used laser power meter and beam profiling products being used in production operations. We’ll review different optical configurations and where they are used, different software settings and features that are important to configure during setup, and a variety of scenarios where different technologies might be used and why.
