Laser Beam Profile

Add To Your Report

  1. Show a plot of your beam profile measurement without the pinhole in the beam expander. Fit the data using Equation (4). State the width of the beam and its uncertainty.
  2. Look at the fitting results of your two data sets. Quantitatively compare the quality of the fits. Use these results to justify why the profile of the partially blocked beam should not be described by a Gaussian function.
