Abstract

The laser mode quality factor ( M 2 ) provides a highly useful means of predicting laser beam propagation and focusing characteristics for both laser manufacturers and systems integrators. The Coherent ModeMaster PC enables rapid, accurate measurement of M 2 for a wide range of CW and quasi­CW lasers with output from the ultraviolet to near infrared spectral range.
