Laser Beam Profiling: Cost-Effective Solutions (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Lasers are widely used both geographically and across scientific domains. They are applied as illumination sources and for inducing an impact (biological, chemical, or other) in the object under observation. Understanding the laser beam characteristics before and after interaction with an object provides intrinsic insights into the nature of the object. This knowledge is invaluable in domains such as biophotonics where scattering nature of tissue can be quantified by understanding the aberrations introduced into a highly focused beam.

To effectively understand the interactions and variations induced by the object on the laser beam, it is important to profile the laser beam. For profiling the beam, we use low-cost silicon sensors. This book discusses topics such as lasers and their characteristics, as well as silicon sensor technologies such as CCDs and CMOS and provides a step-by-step guide to 3D profiling a laser beam. The book is supported by openly accessible MATLAB code and videos showing procedures.

The book is intended as a laboratory handbook to undergraduate and graduate students using lasers and to serve as a refresher course for experienced researchers.
