Measuring the Power and Beam Profile of Divergent Laser Sources
11 May 2022 12:00 - 13:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC - 05:00)Lasers with large beam divergence are used in a number of applications, such as remote sensing, optical communications, and materials processing. Large beam divergences create challenges for reliably characterizing lasers. This is primarily because the beam size from such lasers grows quickly over a short distance, and beam conditioning optics and sensors used to measure these beams can have a strong angular dependence.
In this webinar, Derrick Peterman, Ph.D., will discuss methods for reliably characterizing the beam power and profile of divergent sources, so that users will be able to better understand how their lasers are performing in critical applications.
