BeamProfiler



BeamProfiler is a Python package for laser beam analysis and characterization
according to ISO 13694, ISO 11145, and other non-ISO definitions commonly used
in the industry.

Free software: GNU General Public License v3
Documentation: https://beamprofiler.readthedocs.io.


Features
BeamProfiler imports the power density distribution of a laser beam and
generates a .xlsx report with the following items:

ISO parameters:
total power, clip-level power, maximum power density, clip-level
power density, clip-level average power density, clip-level irradiation
area, beam aspect ratio, fractional power, flatness factor, beam
uniformity, plateau uniformity, edge steepness, beam centroid, beam width.

Non-ISO parameters:
clip-level beam width, clip-level edge width, modified plateau uniformity,
top-hat factor.

Auxiliary graphs
histogram, 2D heat map, 3D heat map, normalized energy curve.


Below are some illustrations:
