Where to Buy Beam Profilers
Beam profilers (beam analyzers, mode profilers) are diagnostic devices which can measure the whole optical intensity profile of a laser beam, including the detailed shape.

Check List for Beam Profilers
- Is it a beam profiler based on a camera, or a device with a scanning aperture (moving slit or knife, for example)? Or is it possibly a wavefront sensor, which can also detect the optical phase profile?
- In what range of optical powers can the profiler work? Will you have to manually mount a suitable optical attenuator? Will you possibly need to buy an additional attenuator? (Note that high-quality attenuators are required, which do not spoil the beam profile.)
- In which wavelength range can it be used?
- How large can the beam profile be, and what is the spatial resolution? (More pixels allow you to work in a wider range of beam sizes.)
- Can the device work with laser pulses?
- Is it a standalone device, having an own display (how large?), or is it used in connection with a PC or notebook, or possibly with a tablet?
- Can it easily be mounted and aligned to the beam? Or will you have to align the beam itself? How much space does it require on the optical table?
- Can it measure quantities like the beam radius in x and y direction, based on the 1/e2 criterion and/or the second moment (D4σ method)? Can a constant background be subtracted?
- Can it measure the whole beam caustic and get the beam divergence, beam parameter product and M2 factor from the data?
- Can it measure the beam jitter (random movement of centroid or peak position)?

 Partners for accuracy 445 St-Jean-Baptiste, Suite 160 Quebec, QC Canada G2E 5N7 Quality: ISO 9001:2015 www.gentec-eo.com Social: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube Tel.: +1 418 651 8003 Fax: +1 418 651 1174 |  When it comes to characterizing a laser beam in the UV to near-IR range, a beam profiler is the go-to solution. Thanks to its unique combination of high pixel density and large sensor size, the BEAMAGE series of laser beam diagnostics instruments has the double advantage of accurately characterising both very small beams of only a few tens of microns to larger beams of several millimeters in width, thus effectively covering most applications in one package. The simple software is highly intuitive and yet includes many great functions, useful both for basic or advanced users. Furthermore, the calculations done by the software are ISO-compliant and give the user the most accurate beam characterization available, all this in a lightweight environment that doesn’t take days to fully master. |
