Laser Beam Steering Techniques: A Comprehensive Guide
In this article, we will explore the different types of laser beam steering techniques and their applications.
Scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer
A scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer is a device that is used to measure the properties of light and to analyze the properties of materials.
Waveplates
A wave plate, also known as a phase retarder, is a type of optical device that is used to alter the phase of light waves.
Brewster Window
Brewster window, named after Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster, is a type of optical window that is commonly used in scientific and industrial applications.
What does HR and OC Mirror Mean?
Both HR and OC mirrors are essential components in the operation of a laser. The HR mirror reflects the laser beam back into the cavity, where it is amplified by the laser medium and passed through the OC mirror. The OC mirror then allows a portion of the amplified laser beam to exit the cavity, producing the desired laser output.
Diffraction Grating
A diffraction grating is a type of optical device that is used to separate light into its different wavelengths.
What is coherence length and how is it measured?
Coherence length is a term used in optics to describe the length over which two or more waves remain correlated, or “in phase,” with one another.
Dichroic Filters
A dichroic filter is a type of optical filter that is designed to selectively transmit or reflect specific wavelengths of light.
