Video: How To Set Up Your DataRay Beam Profiler

DataRay Software |April 22, 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. The first video in this series serves as an introduction to the DataRay beam profiling camera software...

Tutorial: Interfacing to C++ in Visual Studio 2013

Interfacing |August 31, 2016

It is our pleasure to announce a new Visual C++ tutorial for interfacing DataRay Camera and Slit Scan Profilers using the DataRay OCX.

Setting the Right Capture Block

Beam Profiling Concepts |June 20, 2016

Centering the laser beam and properly sizing the capture block are important steps in taking accurate laser beam measurements with DataRay software. In this blog post we explain why the beam needs to be centered on the capture block, and the errors that can occur if the corners of the capture block are illuminated by the beam.

In this post, we discuss our major new software update, as well as provide a preview of the demos we'll be showing at CLEO Conference 2016

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.
