Features

BeamProfiler imports the power density distribution of a laser beam and generates a .xlsx report with the following items:

ISO parameters:

total power, clip-level power, maximum power density, clip-level power density, clip-level average power density, clip-level irradiation area, beam aspect ratio, fractional power, flatness factor, beam uniformity, plateau uniformity, edge steepness, beam centroid, beam width.

Non-ISO parameters:

clip-level beam width, clip-level edge width, modified plateau uniformity, top-hat factor.

Auxiliary graphs

histogram, 2D heat map, 3D heat map, normalized energy curve.

Below are some illustrations:
