Real-time focal spot and M2 measurement module for precision laser micro-machining applications
Abstract
We present a novel, integrated module for real-time measurement of focal spot size and beam quality (M²) tailored to precision laser micro-machining applications. The device supports continuous-wave and ultrashort pulse lasers up to 100 W, featuring advanced power attenuation, high-resolution imaging, and a motorized translation stage for detailed caustic analysis. This compact, versatile system enhances characterization accuracy, facilitating optimization of laser-based microfabrication and additive manufacturing processes.
