Incomparable visualization modes, extensive analytical capabilities as well as new developed correction algorithms ensure the highest accuracy in laser beam analysis. A wide range of beam width techniques can be applied to determine quick and reliable standard beam parameters. The unique measurement tool enables the continuous monitoring of beam parameters, beam position, beam quality and power density distribution.
    
The extraordinary graphical and analytical tools of RayCi can be used for live data and stored data simultaneously. Helpful features like tracking functions, coordinate system adjustment, zoom functions, Look-Up Tables, etc. simplify the laser beam analysis. 

Percentage of Peak:
RayCi supports the most commonly used ‘percentage of peak’ method to determine the width from the beam cross section line. Therefore, two opposite markers are positioned automatically to the specified intensity level. The distance between the markers are used to define the beam width. Two pairs of markers can be used simultaneously to compare different settings.  

To expand the beam analysis level and roughness options with statistical values are available.

• 50% - 50% (FWHM)
• 10% - 10%
• 1/e - 1/e
• 1/e2 - 1/e2
• User defined values

Edge Steepness:
Cross section lines of beam profiles are of particular interest for further beam analysis. Especially for flat-top beams the knowledge of the edge steepness is of great importance. RayCi defines the edge steepness of such beams by using different options.

• Edge Steepness Right
• Edge Steepness Left
• 10% - 90%
• User defined values

RayCi supports several 2D techniques to determine the beam width of a laser beam. The customer can choose the best technique for their application. This extensive tool on beam width techniques is unique on the market for laser beam profiling.

2nd Moments (D4s)
Based on the ISO international standard definition for beam width. It describes the variance of the intensity distribution related to the Center of Gravity.

Gauss / Super Gauss
Based on a mathematical model to find the best fitting function for the two-dimensional intensity distribution of the beam.

Plateau / Geometry / Area
Based on a geometrical model to find the best fitting shape of the beam.

Knife Edge / Moving Slit
Based on classical measurements with knife-edge or moving slit.
