Description of the LaserDiagnosticsSoftware LDS
The LaserDiagnosticsSoftware LDS is the control centre for all PRIMES measuring devices which measures
the beam distribution as well as focus geometries by means of which the beam propagation characteristics
can be determined.
The LaserDiagnosticsSoftware LDS includes all functions necessary for the control of measurements and
displays the measuring results graphically.
Moreover, the systems uses the measured data to carry out an evaluation in order to give the operator of the
beam diagnosis an information regarding the reliability of the measuring results.
