Laser Beam Sampler

A laser beam profiler captures displays and records the spatial intensity profile of a laser beam at a particular plane transverse to the beam propagation path.

Laser beam sampler.

Reflection at nominal incidence of 45 is polarization and wavelength dependent with 532nm s polarization reflected at 8 27 and p polarization at 0 68. Since there are many types of lasers ultraviolet visible infrared continuous wave pulsed high power low power there is an assortment of instrumentation for measuring laser beam profiles. These two sample beams are located to the left and right of the main beam 1 and 1 orders and are characterized by a given separation angle between them and by a sample power ratio. The prism front surface beam sampler pfsa is a c mount fixture housing a uv grade fused silica right angle prism used for sampling the front surface reflection for high power energy beam profiling applications.

The substrate defines an outer surface through which the light beam being sampled propagates. The lbp2 sam series beam sampler is designed so that the preferential polarization selection effect of a single wedge is cancelled out and the resulting beam image is polarization corrected to restore the polarization components of the original beam. In a beam sampler the percentage of reflected light is determined by the fresnel reflection from a single surface. Techspec nd yag laser line beam samplers can be used with laser measurement products to monitor beam properties such as beam power and beam profile in real time.

Based on the data you provided our beam samplers should be suitable. A top hat beam shape r also known as flat top beam shaper is the high end option applicable for laser systems that use single mode low m 2 laser beams typically m 2 1 5. A laser beam sampler allows the high power beam zero order to propagate undisturbed along the optical axis but produces two side beams with low energy. The beam sampler has a reflectance of 5 2 when the material is bk7 and the input beam is unpolarized or circularly polarized.

By reflecting approximately 10 of s polarization and 1 of p polarization at the nominal 45 aoi the beam sampler picks off 1 10 of an incident beam depending on its polarization upon incidence. The transmitted beam deviation of a wedged beamsplitter is larger then with a beamsplitter made of an optical parallel. A beam sampler comprises a substrate made of highly transparent fused silica or zinc selenide both capable of sustaining high power laser beams. A flat top laser beam shaper is a diffractive optical element doe that transforms the gaussian beam into a flat top beam with uniform intensity inside a well defined shape with pre designed angular dimensions and a.
