Where to Buy Laser Beam Characterization Instruments
Before You Buy: Learn About Laser Beam Characterization Instruments
Laser beams often need to be characterized in terms of beam shape profile and beam quality, or concerning optical power, pulse properties, and optical spectrum. Various instruments are available for these purposes, including beam profilers, beam quality measurement devices, wavefront analyzers, optical power meters, and spectrographs.

DataRay Inc. 31 Upper Ragsdale Drive, Ste 1 Monterey, CA 93940 United States |
DataRay offers a full range of ISO 11146-compliant beam profilers, both camera and scanning slit-based. Camera-based systems include the WinCamD, BladeCam, and TaperCamD series, all of which are USB 2.0 or 3.0 port-powered. These cameras produce a 2D false color digital image of the beam intensity. From these images, XY profiles may be shown for any location on the beam at any angle. Beam profiling cameras are typically both the optimal and most economical choice when the beam wavelength and diameter are appropriate. |
