Video: Diameter Measurements

DataRay Software |May 15, 2025

The DataRay beam profiling software provides powerful state-of-the-art features to characterize your beams quickly and efficiently. Our team has developed a series of short videos to help explain and demonstrate key software functionality. This second video in the series covers diameter measurements, including clip level diameters, ISO 11146 compliant diameters, and “power in the bucket” style diameters using DXX mode...

Pulsed Lasers: Pulse Energy & Imager Gain

Pulsed Lasers |January 10, 2017

This is the third entry in a series of blog posts that explore DataRay’s pulsed laser measurement capabilities. This blog post will talk about the energy requirements involved with measuring pulsed lasers, and how the received signal can be controlled when the exposure time is fixed.

Pulsed Lasers and External Trigger Mode

Pulsed Lasers |December 2, 2016

This is the second entry in a series of blog posts that explore DataRay’s pulsed laser measurement capabilities. This blog post will now talk about how an external trigger can be used to formally synchronize the exposure time to the pulse width. This External Trigger mode provides more versatile and precise measurements of pulsed lasers.

Pulsed Lasers and Auto-Trigger Mode

Pulsed Lasers |November 21, 2016

This is the first entry in a series of blog posts that explore DataRay’s pulsed laser measurement capabilities. This blog post will review how capturing pulsed lasers with a camera beam profiler differs from capturing CW lasers, and how the additional challenges with pulsed lasers are handled to provide useful measurements with the software’s Auto-Trigger mode.
