High Power Beam Analysis
The advantages of fiber lasers are their high power, mechanical stability and good beam quality; however beam quality and beam profile has to be periodically checked. In general, there are many difficulties in checking beam quality especially at the focal point, where densities will exceed 50KWatt per square cm. On one hand those energies are capable of melting and destroying most known materials, while on the other hand measuring a focused profile is the most significant measurement.

Sensor Bodies
The armature - assembled sensor body - is the central component of an inline photometer. We have already designed more than 1000 different sensor bodies and more than 50 types are always on stock. All optek inline sensor bodies are made from high quality materials and are machined with extreme precision. The quality-tested manufacturing tolerances allow optical path lengths of up to 1000 mm, for which the accuracy of the incoming and outgoing light beam is ensured by testing a laser-based coaxiality tolerance test to the reference axis. To cover a wide spectrum of different process conditions, optek sensor bodies can be manufactured from various materials (also for aggressive chemicals or with NACE MR 0175) and adapted with regards to:

*Beam Profiling For 266nm To 3000µm
Unlike a power meter that measures average or instantaneous Watts or Joules of the overall laser beam, knowing how the power is distributed within the beam is equally as important. As an example, if you want to cut something the power should generally be focused in the center of the beam to concentrate the power density in a very small area but if you were trying to weld something with all the power in the center you would poke a hole in the weld; requiring the power to be equally distributed as in a top hat profile.

Gloss & Reflectance
Visual appearance can determine a person’s perception of a product. Colour and Gloss are two key parameters that are used to define a product’s overall quality. Perception is subjective, but Elcometer’s range of gloss meters, DOI meters and colour assessment equipment can quantify appearance measurement. The ability of a surface to reflect light without scattering is known as gloss. Using a gloss meter, gloss is measured by directing a constant intensity light beam at a fixed angle to the test surface and then by monitoring the amount of reflected light at the same angle. Different surfaces require different reflective angles.

Cassegrain Antennas
In telecommunications and radar, a Cassegrain antenna is a parabolic antenna in which the feed antenna is mounted at or behind the surface of the concave main parabolic reflector dish and is aimed at a smaller convex secondary reflector suspended in front of the primary reflector. The beam of radio waves from the feed illuminates the secondary reflector, which reflects it back to the main reflector dish, which reflects it forward again to form the desired beam. The Cassegrain design is widely used in parabolic antennas, particularly in large antennas such as those in satellite ground stations, radio telescopes, and communication satellites.
