11Getting Started
For correct beam profiling results it is highly recommended to shield ambient light
from entering the Beam Profiler aperture. Using attenuation filters provided within the
filter wheel will attenuate ambient light but will also absorb power of the light source
by the same amount so that the ratio between both remains unchanged. Increasing
the laser power will help to increase the dynamic between wanted and unwanted
light portions.
