True 2D Beam Profiling: Advantages of Camera Profiling Systems
Beam Profiling Concepts |November 14, 2025
DataRay offers state-of-the-art profiling systems that fall within two major categories: scanning slit and camera profilers. These profilers utilize fundamentally different measurement techniques to deliver distinct advantages, discussed in our previous blog post, Scanning Slits vs. Cameras. In this article, we dive deeper into the differences between the two and highlight situations in which a camera profiler is a more suitable choice...
