Focus Beam Profiler for High-Power Lasers in Additive Manufacturing
The Focus Beam Profiler (FBP) from CINOGY Technologies is a compact, camera-based instrument for measuring the focused spot of high-power fiber, disk and solid-state lasers at up to 2 kW. It is built for the working plane of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF, also called SLM or DMLS) and selective laser sintering (SLS) machines, where focus spot size and absolute focus position decide melt pool stability and part quality.

How the FBP measures a focused high-power beam
CINOGY designed the FBP around a multi-stage, high-performance attenuator that brings a kilowatt-class focused beam down to a level a high-resolution CMOS sensor can record without distortion. The attenuated beam reaches the sensor directly, without imaging optics, so there are no power-dependent imaging errors to correct. An internal translation stage moves the measurement plane through the caustic while the profiler itself stays fixed in the machine, which keeps setup fast and repeatable on the production floor.
The whole sequence is controlled by RayCi Pro software, which fits the caustic according to ISO 11146-1 (stigmatic and simple astigmatic beams) and ISO 11146-2 (general astigmatic beams). A water-cooled absorber handles the dumped power, an AR-coated protection window guards the Ø18 mm aperture, and a clean-air flushing input keeps powder and spatter off the optics.

Why focus verification matters in laser powder bed fusion
Peak irradiance scales with the inverse square of spot diameter, so a focus that drifts even a fraction of a Rayleigh length changes the energy delivered to the powder bed. Heating of scan optics, contaminated protection windows and service work can all move the focus without any visible sign. Axiom Optics works with additive manufacturing teams that use the FBP for machine acceptance, scheduled preventive maintenance, comparison between machines in a fleet, and process qualification when changing laser power or optics. The explorer below shows how sensitive your own spot is.
New: FBP-3KF for 2 kW lasers
The FBP-3KF extends the proven design of the widely used 400 W and 1 kW models to the latest generation of 2 kW single-mode and 2.2 kW multi-mode sources. Its multi-stage attenuator manages the thermal load of the full process beam so that waist diameter, waist position and M² are reported without distortion at maximum power. CINOGY also gave it the longest measurement range in the family, ±24 mm, and the tightest waist position accuracy, ±75 µm, with unlimited measurement time under water cooling. The compact 98 x 98 x 159 mm housing still fits into build chambers for quick quality checks directly on the production floor.

Above the FBP-3KF rating
The FBP-3KF is rated to 2 kW single-mode and 2.2 kW multi-mode. For higher-power sources, Axiom Optics can review your beam delivery and recommend a measurement approach.
Spot larger than the FBP range
The FBP measures focused spots up to 1.2 mm. For large or unfocused beams, a large-area camera profiler is the better fit.
Multi-mode spots start at 300 µm
All three FBP models are specified for multi-mode beams from 300 µm to 1.2 mm. If your multi-mode focus is smaller, send Axiom Optics your beam parameters before ordering.
Small spot at high power
Single-mode spots under 75 µm need the 3X option, which is offered on the FBP-1KF and FBP-2KF (up to 1 kW single-mode) but not on the FBP-3KF. Axiom Optics can review your configuration.

Short Rayleigh length. A 0.25 mm focus shift already cuts peak irradiance by 5%, so focus position needs to be verified, not assumed. The FBP’s ±100 µm waist position accuracy is 9% of zR here.

Focus Beam Profiler FAQ
What does a focus beam profiler measure?
A focus beam profiler images the focused laser spot at several planes along the beam axis and fits the caustic. The CINOGY FBP reports waist diameter, absolute waist position (z0), Rayleigh length, divergence and the M² beam quality factor, evaluated in RayCi Pro according to ISO 11146-1 and ISO 11146-2.
Which FBP model fits my laser powder bed fusion machine?
Match the model to your laser's maximum power and beam mode. The FBP-1KF is rated to 400 W single-mode and 700 W multi-mode, the FBP-2KF to 1 kW and 1.2 kW, and the FBP-3KF to 2 kW and 2.2 kW. For single-mode spots under 75 µm, choose the FBP-1KF or FBP-2KF with the 3X option.
Can the FBP measure the beam at full process power?
Yes. Each model measures at up to its rated power. With the water-cooled absorber connected, measurement time is unlimited. Without water cooling, the FBP-1KF measures for up to 20 s at 400 W and the FBP-2KF for up to 20 s at 500 W. The FBP-3KF is operated with water cooling.
How accurate is the FBP?
Measurement position accuracy is ±50 µm on all models. Waist position accuracy is ±100 µm on the FBP-1KF and FBP-2KF and ±75 µm on the FBP-3KF. Waist size and M² are accurate to 2 to 4%, and the optional power measurement to 5 to 7%.
What is the 3X option?
The 3X option magnifies the beam onto the sensor for a 2 µm effective pixel, extending single-mode measurement down to 30 µm spots (range 30 µm to 0.6 mm). It is available on the FBP-1KF and FBP-2KF, not on the FBP-3KF.
Which wavelengths does the FBP support?
The FBP is configured for 1064 nm, with 1030 nm and 1070 nm covering the fiber and disk lasers used in metal additive manufacturing. Other wavelengths are available on request.
How does the FBP connect and what software is included?
The FBP connects and draws power over USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) and ships with a RayCi Pro license for acquisition, caustic fitting and reporting.
Axiom Optics supplies and supports the CINOGY Focus Beam Profiler from offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Orsay, France.
