LABORATORY OF CHARACTERIZATION AND DIAGNOSIS INFRASTRUCTURE BY OPTICAL AND COMPLEMENTARY METHODS (INDICO)

Overview

The main objective of INDICO http://www.indico.inoe.ro/ (site to be upgraded soon) is to characterize by optical and complementary methods of materials, components and systems with application in optoelectronics, according to the objective of the Excellence Research Program, which states the development of experimental and testing laboratories and of certification authorities according to the requirements of the European Union regarding conformity evaluation to technical regulations. INDICO provide services of evaluation of the conformity according to the harmonized European standards, associated to the required directives both to the public authorities supervising the market and to the manufacturers to fulfill their objectives. We provide innovative services of characterization of materials, optical fibers, optical amplifiers, optical components and lasers in an integrated form that assure a continuity in the applied research/manufacture activities, leading to the achievement of products vendible in Romania… LASER ENERGY / POWER

One of the most important characteristic of a laser source is its energy (for a pulsed laser) or its power (for a CW laser). Measurements can be done at high acquisition rates allowing thus an accurate determination of pulse-to-pulse energy fluctuation. All measured data are stored and processed to get statistics (average, standard deviation, RMS, maximum, minimum, peak-to-peak).

LASER BEAM PROFILE

A more precise diagnostic of a laser source requires an analysis of the laser beam profile. A laser beam profiler provides important information characterizing the laser, as the energy (pulsed lasers) or power (CW lasers) distribution in a cross section of the laser beam, the waist of the beam, its divergence and M2 factor (that quantifies the beam quality of laser beams).

LASER PULSE WIDTH

Temporal behavior of the pulsed lasers is characterized by the pulse width (duration). Because the commercially available lasers have pulse widths of few ns, the pulse width measurement…. Training:
