Precise, high-speed, in-process laser depth measurements
LDD’s patented inline coherent imaging (ICI) technology sets a new gold standard in laser process monitoring. Working through your existing laser head optics, an LDD instrument can provide accurate measurements of the depth of penetration for almost any laser process. ICI is immune to interference from the process beam, plasma and other sources, yielding high-quality depth data even while the laser is operating.
