Whether the application is industrial, medical, military or scientific, diagnosing a problem in your optical system can be confusing, time-consuming and costly. Beam profiling can help.

There can be few frustrations greater than finding that your laser-based optical system is not working as well as expected, or that it is failing altogether. But a possible solution literally goes straight to the source: Measuring the beam quality of the optical system could reveal that the beam power is not spatially distributed as expected, or that the size of the beam is not as expected.

Once the beam profile is corrected, the performance of most laser processes can be improved: Industrial processing produces less scrap, medical procedures are more precise, military devices can have greater effectiveness, and scientific experiments can be more accurate.
