Systematic Error in ISO 11146 Measurements

Beam Profiling Concepts |May 12, 2016

Systematic error is an important calculation in any measurement system, and especially in ISO 11146 laser beam profiling measurements. In this blog post, we address the systematic error inherent to the measurement of beam width as laid out in the ISO 11146 standard.

M² and High-order Modes

M Squared |April 27, 2016

M² is a measurement that was originally designed to determine the quality of a real beam in comparison to a theoretically perfect fundamental mode Gaussian beam (Siegman 1990). Although many lasers are designed to output a fundamental mode Gaussian beam, imperfections and/or cavity design in the laser will often cause superimposed higher-order transverse modes.

M² Measurement

M Squared |April 12, 2016

As leaders in the laser beam profiling business, we have worked with M² for decades. In this blog post we discuss M², when to use it, and the way it is measured.

Press Releases |April 1, 2016

DataRay Inc., the worldwide leader in laser beam profiling and analysis, is pleased to announce the availability of a new, NIR-Enhanced version of the popular WinCamD-LCM CMOS beam profiler.

CMOS vs. CCD Sensors

Beam Profiling Cameras |March 29, 2016

CMOS and CCD image sensor technology was developed in the 1960s. Although for the last forty years CCD sensors have dominated the market, improvements in CMOS sensor design have catapulted them to a growing market share and the CMOS seems poised to replace the CCD in many applications.
