BeamMic is an introductory product for those that do not need all of the features in our award winning beam profiling product, BeamGage. BeamMic includes a simplified set of measurements allowing for basic beam characterization to help improve your system performance without going to a full-featured SPC type system. This is perfect for the operator to do a quick check on the laser system prior to starting their process. BeamMic meets many of our industrial customer’s basic needs at a cost effective price.
The beam’s size, shape, uniformity or approximation to the expected power distribution, can make or break an application. Accurate knowledge of these parameters is essential to the accuracy of any laser-based application. As laser applications push the boundaries of laser performance it is becoming more critical to understand the operating criteria.

Is your laser's beam profile shaped correctly for your application? This video teaches the fundamentals of laser beam profiles and discusses the benefits of profiling your laser beam. Several case studies are presented showing before and after laser beam profiles.
This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to set up a camera-based beam profiling system on an industrial single-pulse laser welding system. It will also demonstrate for you how to simultaneously analyze the laser's focused spot, measure the laser's energy per pulse, and measure its temporal pulse shape.

BeamMaker helps engineers, technicians, and researchers understand a beam's modal content by creating a theoretically generated beam. Design your perfect beam profile in BeamMaker by specifying the mode, size, width, height, intensity, angle, and noise content - then configure your laser to run the as designed, and compare your actual beam to the theoretically derived measurements. The end result is knowledge about how much the real beam varies from the desired beam.
When performing beam profiling measurements on a laser, it is sometimes necessary to manipulate the beam in order to achieve a signal that is suitable to be measured. Occasionally, the beam needs to be sized correctly by either increasing it if it is too small, or increasing it if it is too large. Often times, the laser’s power needs to be reduced to a certain level to be imaged. Our laser beam profiler accessories allow you to achieve proper beam sizes and power levels so that you can achieve the most accurate measurements possible.
