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.
Line Laser Profiling System
Specialized Beam Profiling Systems |November 3, 2016
DataRay has always been committed to providing accurate and reliable solutions for characterizing a wide range of laser beams. We take pride in listening to customer requests and working to expand our product line to meet their needs. DataRay is happy to announce our new Line Laser Profiling System (LLPS) with the capability to provide direct measurements of line lasers up to 200 mm in length and down to 55 microns in thickness.
DataRay CMOS Cameras and UV Light
UV |October 10, 2016
Although in the past DataRay CMOS beam profiling cameras were listed with a wavelength range of 355-1350 nm due to assumed sensor deterioration by short wavelength light, recent testing has demonstrated the CMOS sensor can image ultraviolet (UV) light down to 266 nm without sensor degradation; in this blog post we describe the test results.
When to Use the D86 Beam Width Measurement Method
Beam Profiling Concepts |September 15, 2016
Although the clip level method and the second moment method are the most popular methods of beam width measurement, other beam width measurement techniques such as the D86 method can be used with beam profiling cameras.
