Apples to Apples: Which Camera Technologies Work Best for Beam Profiling Applications, Part 1
In the late 80’s and early 90’s CID and CCD camera technologies were coming into use as a practical approach for capturing a laser beam’s intensity profile in two dimensions and in real time. Many cameras employed external triggering and variable exposure features and thus were capable of imaging both CW and Pulsed laser beam profiles. This new ability to “see” what their laser was doing caught on and pretty soon became a “must have” in the laser guru’s toolkit.
