Beam Propagation

Modern applications in laser technology demand a comprehensive characterization of the utilized light sources. This makes high precision techniques for determination of the spatial profile as well as standard methods for relevant beam parameters necessary.
The Optics / Short Wavelengths department of the Laser-Laboratorium has been for more than 15 years involved with the comprehensive characterization of laser beam propagation. The applied camera-based detectors are suitable for a broad spectral range (NIR ... DUV/VUV).
